drm_suballoc_free(9)

✨ NAME ✨

drm_suballoc_free — free a suballocation, bestie 💅

Okay so hi, this is the Kernel API Manual page for drm_suballoc_free(9), and we are officially in DRM suballocation territory. Slay.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void drm_suballoc_free (struct drm_suballoc *suballoc , struct dma_fence *fence );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• suballoc — pointer to the suballocation. Like, the actual suballocation you're freeing, bestie.
• fence — fence that signals when suballocation is idle. This is the cue that tells you the suballocation is idle, fr fr.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the whole vibe here is: free the suballocation. That's it. That's the job.

The important part? The suballocation can be re-used after fence signals. So yeah, fence is literally the main character of this operation. Don't forget about it 👑.

It's a void function, so nothing comes back to you — it just does the free thing. Periodt.
