💅 drm_gem_free_mmap_offset(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this little page is all about drm_gem_free_mmap_offset, and honestly it's a short one, so grab your iced coffee and let's go 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_gem_free_mmap_offset — release a fake mmap offset for an object 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_gem_free_mmap_offset (struct drm_gem_object *obj );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • obj — the obj in question 👀 (yes, that's the whole description, she's mysterious like that)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This routine frees fake offsets that were allocated by drm_gem_create_mmap_offset. So like, if you made a pretend offset, this is the girl who cleans it up 💅

⚠️ big note bestie: drm_gem_object_release already calls this function, so drivers don't have to take care of releasing the mmap offset themselves when freeing the GEM object. it's giving "already handled, don't stress" 😌 no double-freeing, we don't do that here 🙈
