💅 fm10k_remove — Device Removal Routine

Okay bestie, welcome to the fm10k_remove(9) page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's a short one. Tiny page, big "you're being unplugged" energy. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fm10k_remove (struct pci_dev *pdev );

No return value, no drama — it's void, it does the thing and dips 💨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — the PCI device information struct. Yep, that's the whole argument list. One (1) struct pointer, and it's literally carrying the PCI device info for the thing that's about to get removed. Iconic minimalism 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: fm10k_remove gets called by the PCI subsystem to give the driver a heads-up — "hey girl, you need to release this PCI device." 🚨

And why would that happen? Two reasons, and they're both in the original so I'm giving you both:

• a Hot-Plug event happened (someone yanked the hardware, no cap), or
• the driver is going to be removed from memory 😭

Either way, this is the function that says "okay, packing my bags, releasing the device, bye" 🦋

Ngl, it's a removal routine — so the whole vibe is cleanup. Don't expect it to do anything cute or extra beyond that.

That's the whole page, babes ✨ Source file path on the footer got all truncated to ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... and the date stamped on it is October 2026, and the page itself is fm10k_remove(9) from the Kernel API Manual. Slay, go free your PCI devices responsibly 💜
