drm_gem_obje...put_unlocked(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the drm_gem_obje...put_unlocked(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is short, sweet, and all about dropping a reference on a user-space handle like the responsible little icon you are.

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_gem_object_handle_put_unlocked — releases reference on user-space handle

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_gem_object_handle_put_unlocked (struct drm_gem_object *obj );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • obj — the GEM object, periodt. That's the whole argument, no cap.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So this function releases a reference on the GEM buffer object's handle. It may also release the GEM buffer object and the associated dma-buf objects — so yeah, it's giving cleanup energy, not just a tiny handle situation. That's the whole vibe, bestie.
