drm_gem_fb_destroy(9)

💖 drm_gem_fb_destroy(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the drm_gem_fb_destroy(9) page — straight out of the Kernel API Manual, no cap. this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of a baddie: it's the cleanup queen of GEM-backed framebuffers. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_gem_fb_destroy — free GEM backed framebuffer 🎀

like, the whole personality is right there in the name. it frees. it's GEM backed. it's a framebuffer. iconic.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void drm_gem_fb_destroy (struct drm_framebuffer *fb );

that's it. one function, one argument, zero drama. periodt. 💅

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• fb — the framebuffer 💖 (yes that's the whole description, she's a woman of few words and we respect her for it)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕: this function frees a GEM backed framebuffer, and not just the framebuffer itself — it also frees its backing buffer(s) and the structure itself. the whole little family goes together. no leftovers, no orphans, no memory leaks lurking in the group chat. 🧹✨

and here's the part that makes her main character energy: drivers can literally use this as their drm_framebuffer_funcs->destroy callback. like, she's built for that. drop her in, she handles the goodbye, you go live your life. 🫶

ngl that's the entire page. she's efficient. she ate and left no crumbs. 🔥
