framer_put(9)

💅 framer_put(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition

okay so this is framer_put from section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "one job, does it perfectly." she's the cleanup queen, the release-the-framer girlie, and we are obsessed 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

framer_put — release the framer 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void framer_put (struct device *dev , struct framer *framer );

like, that's the whole signature. no drama, no returns, just vibes and a void. periodt ✨

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

two besties walk into the function:

• dev — the device that wants to release this framer 🫶 she's the one saying "okay i'm done with this, take it back."
• framer — the framer returned by framer_get 👑 literally the exact same one you got handed earlier, no substitutions, no swapsies.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea ☕ — this function releases a refcount that the caller received from framer_get. that's it. that's the whole plot.

you grabbed the framer with framer_get, you did your little thing with it, and now you're handing the ref back because you're a responsible main character who doesn't leak resources 💀✨ the way that refcount goes back down is honestly iconic of her.

no cap, this is the "k bye" of kernel APIs and she slays it every single time 💅

🫶 reminder: if you got a ref from framer_get, you gotta give it back with framer_put. no ghosting your refcounts, bestie — that's how leaks happen and leaks are not the vibe check you want to fail 😭

and that's the page!! 💜 this little slice of the Kernel API Manual came from the directory ./drivers/net/wan/framer, and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future-coded but timeless. mwah, go release some framers responsibly 🎀🌸✨
