fm10k_free_q_vectors(9)

🎀 fm10k_free_q_vectors — the Kernel API Manual moment 💅

okay so bestie, buckle up, because we're talking about fm10k_free_q_vectors today — it lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's giving "cleanup crew, but make it iconic" ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fm10k_free_q_vectors — literally frees the memory that was allocated for interrupt vectors 🧹💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fm10k_free_q_vectors (struct fm10k_intfc *interface );

that's it. one function, one pointer, zero drama 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• interface — the board private structure to initialize, no cap 💜

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function frees the memory that was allocated to the q_vectors. simple, slay, done, right?

but wait, there's more 👀 and it's lowkey important: in addition, if NAPI is enabled, it will delete any references to the NAPI struct prior to freeing the q_vector. so like, the references get cleaned up first, and then the q_vector itself gets freed. order matters, bestie — it's giving "unlink before you yeet" 💀✨
