🎀 edac_pci_free_ctl_info(9) 🎀

okay bestie, this page comes from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “final cleanup era” for a PCI control structure. no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

edac_pci_free_ctl_info — last action on the pci control structure. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void edac_pci_free_ctl_info (struct edac_pci_ctl_info *pci );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pci — pointer to struct edac_pci_ctl_info. yep, that’s the struct getting its final moment. 💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the way this works: it calls the remove sysfs information, which will unregister this control struct’s kobj. When that kobj’s ref count goes to zero, its release function will be called and then kfree the memory. literally the last stop on the cleanup train. 😭✨
