drm_writeba...ctor_cleanup(9)

💅 drm_writeba...ctor_cleanup(9) 💅

okay so bestie, you found the page — this is a Kernel API Manual entry, and the function's full name is honestly a whole tragedy: drm_writeba...ctor_cleanup (yes the kernel truncated it, we don't talk about it 🫠). The full thing is drm_writeback_connector_cleanup, and it's the little cleanup bestie for your writeback connector. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_writeback_connector_cleanup — literally just cleanup for the writeback connector 🧹✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void drm_writeback_connector_cleanup (struct drm_device *dev , void *data );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. two args, no return value, void-coded. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the DRM device 🖥️ like, the whole device. yes ma'am.
• data — a pointer to the writeback connector you want to clean up 🧼 like, this specific one, bestie.

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's what this icon actually does 👑

This will decrement the reference counter of blobs and destroy properties 🔥 — that's the whole job, no cap.

It will also clean the remaining jobs in this writeback connector 🧚 so nothing's left just vibing in the queue unattended.

⚠️ Caution, bestie, read this twice: This helper will not clean up the attached encoder and the drm_connector. Like, at all. It said "not my problem" 💀 so don't come for this function when those are still hanging around — you gotta handle those yourself, fr fr.
