πŸ’… drm_suballoc_manager_fini β€” Kernel API Manual πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, welcome to the drm_suballoc_manager_fini(9) page β€” that's the kernel API manual vibe, and this function is drm_suballoc_manager_fini, aka the one that says bye-bye to the manager πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

drm_suballoc_manager_fini β€” Destroy the drm_suballoc_manager πŸ’€βœ¨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void drm_suballoc_manager_fini (struct drm_suballoc_manager *sa_manager );

no cap, that's the whole signature, she's short and she knows it 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • sa_manager β€” pointer to the sa_manager πŸ’– literally just a pointer to your manager, that's the whole vibe

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so this is the cleanup queen πŸ‘‘ β€” she cleans up the suballocation manager after use. Use her when you're done, she tidies everything away.

but listen, bestie, here's the part you cannot skip πŸ™ˆ: all fences added with drm_suballoc_free must be signaled, or we cannot clean up the entire manager. like, cannot. the whole manager. not a vibe check you can fail, fr fr. signal those fences first, then call her, periodt πŸ’…

⚠️ lowkey important: no signaling = no full cleanup. that's not me being dramatic, that's the manpage 😭
