drm_framebuffer_put(9)

🦋 drm_framebuffer_put(9) — like, the whole vibe 🦋

okay so bestie, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, the Kernel API Manual, capital letters, very official ✨) and honestly? it's a tiny little function that does one big-deal thing. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_framebuffer_put — release a framebuffer reference 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_framebuffer_put (struct drm_framebuffer *fb );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap. 🎀

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• fb — the DRM framebuffer you're letting go of, bestie. it's a struct drm_framebuffer * and it's the only thing this function wants from you 🙈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕: this function decrements the framebuffer's reference count, and if that count drops all the way down to zero, it frees the framebuffer. like, gone. poof. 🦋

the way that it's literally a "put" — you took a reference, now you're putting it back. very giving ✨ balanced ✨ energy. and if you were the last one holding on? congrats, you just triggered the free. main character energy fr fr 👑

like, go read drm_framebuffer_get(9) too — it's the other half of the duo, iykyk 💜

ngl bestie, remember this is the put side of the refcount. every drm_framebuffer_get(9) deserves its matching drm_framebuffer_put(9) and the reference count is the whole plot 🍓
