drm_plane_cleanup(9)

✨ drm_plane_cleanup ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the drm_plane_cleanup(9) page 💅 this is the Kernel API Manual entry for it, and we're gonna get you fully caught up, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_plane_cleanup — clean up the core plane usage ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void drm_plane_cleanup (struct drm_plane *plane );

like, that's the whole signature. short king energy 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• plane — the plane to cleanup 🧹 that's it, that's the argument. the plane. the one getting cleaned up. periodt.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function cleans up a plane and removes it from the DRM mode setting core. it's giving goodbye-girlboss, it's giving "your services are no longer required at this party" 🫶

⚠️ but listen — and this is the important part, bestie — the function does not free the plane structure itself. say it with me: not it, not the vibe, not the struct. freeing that structure is the caller's responsibility. that's on you, babe 😭 the cleanup does the unregistering, you do the free-ing. division of labour, main character energy, iykyk 💀
