💅 drm_panel_remove_follower(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally called drm_panel_remove_follower(9). it's short, it's sweet, and it's the undo button for its sibling function. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

drm_panel_remove_follower — the reverse of drm_panel_add_follower(). that's it, that's the vibe. it's giving "we're so back" but for un-following a panel 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void drm_panel_remove_follower (struct drm_panel_follower *follower);

note the void up there, bestie — keep that in your pocket for the RETURN section, iykyk 😭

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • follower — the panel follower descriptor for the follower. yes the descriptor is for the follower. the follower follows. no cap, that's the whole thing 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does it actually do? it undoes drm_panel_add_follower. that's the mission. ✨

and the details matter here: that undo includes calling the follower's unpreparing/disabling function if we're being removed from a panel that's currently prepared/enabled. so if the panel is out here living its prepared, enabled life, the follower gets its unpreparing/disabling moment on the way out. no loose ends, we love a clean exit 🌈

👑 RETURN 👑

0 or an error code.

(and yeah — the synopsis says void while this section talks about 0 or an error code. not me pointing it out 🙈 just telling you exactly what the page says, character for character.)

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

the whole friend group, honestly. all of these 💖

ok that's the whole page, you ate that 💅 go forth and remove your followers (the panel kind, not the insta kind) 🍓
