drm_dp_mst_t...ogy_put_port(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME

drm_dp_mst_topology_put_port — bestie, this one releases a topology reference to a port. That's it, that's the whole job. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS

void drm_dp_mst_topology_put_port(struct drm_dp_mst_port *port);

So it's a void function, meaning it hands nothing back to you — no return value, no little gift, just vibes and a decrement. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS

  • port — the struct drm_dp_mst_port you want to release the topology reference from. Like, this is the port in question, the one you're saying "okay we're done here" to. 👋

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Okay so here's the tea 🍓: this function drops a topology reference from port by decrementing drm_dp_mst_port.topology_kref. That's literally the whole move — one decrement, no cap. It's giving "polite goodbye to a reference you were holding."

Not me pointing you at the sisters too 👀 — See also: drm_dp_mst_topology_try_get_port and drm_dp_mst_topology_get_port. The get/try_get duo picks references up, and this icon here puts them down. Whole little balanced ecosystem, we love to see it. ⚖️✨

Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/display/drm_dp_mst_topology.c, plus dp mst helper(9), Branch device and port refcounting(9), and honestly the entire extended friendship group:

Like, that's a whole friend group and every single one of them is invited to the function. Periodt. 👑

That's the whole page, bestie — no notes, no leftovers. 💜

Sign-off time 🎀: this little beauty lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm/display, and this particular printing is dated October 2026. Go release those references responsibly, mwah 💋✨
