💅 drm_dp_tunnel_put(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so first things first: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and the function we're stanning is literally called drm_dp_tunnel_put. It's a void function, so like... it gives nothing back, and honestly? That's the vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_dp_tunnel_put — bestie, it puts a reference for a DP tunnel. That's the whole job. That's the assignment. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_dp_tunnel_put (struct drm_dp_tunnel *tunnel , struct
       ref_tracker **tracker );

no cap, that's the whole signature. look at her. iconic.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • tunnel — the tunnel object itself 💖 this is the main character, the thing you're dropping a reference on
  • tracker — the debug tracker for the reference 🙈 it's literally struct ref_tracker **, so yes, double pointer, we love a little indirection moment

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so the whole plot: you put a reference for tunnel, and you do it along with its debug *tracker — which, if you were paying attention, is the tracker you got earlier from drm_dp_tunnel_get. it's giving "return the borrowed book to the library, and also hand back the little receipt you got with it" 📚🎀

that's it. that's the function. lowkey elegant, highkey important. periodt. 💅

🧚 reminder bestie: this is the put half of a get/put pair, so pair it with drm_dp_tunnel_get — the page says the tracker comes from there, so don't go inventing your own, iykyk.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file in question is literally:

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💀✨ source vibes come from ./drivers/gpu/drm/display, dated October 2026 — so yeah, this manual page is from the future and still slaying. mwah 💋🎀 go put that reference back where it belongs 🦋💜
