gelic_card_free_chain(9)

💖 gelic_card_free_chain — free descriptor chain 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the page for gelic_card_free_chain(9) and it is literally the tidiest little cleanup function you ever did see 🧹🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gelic_card_free_chain — free descriptor chain 💅

like… it frees the chain. the descriptor one. that's the whole gig. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void gelic_card_free_chain (struct gelic_card *card , struct gelic_descr
*descr_in );

so it returns void (nothing comes back, it's giving "I don't owe you a return value" energy 💀), and this is the whole signature gelic_card_free_chain (struct gelic_card *card , struct gelic_descr *descr_in ); — copy it exactly, don't freestyle it 🙈

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• card — the card structure. yes, THE card. the whole card. it's the main character here 👑
• descr_in — address of desc. that's the address, not the desc itself, just so we're clear 💖

💜 reminder bestie: get the argument names exactly right, card and descr_in, and keep that descr_in as the address of desc — we do not improvise in kernel land, fr fr 🫶

mwah, that's the whole page 🎀 this cutie came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/toshiba in October 2026, and yeah it's the same gelic_card_free_chain(9) energy from top to bottom — slay, go free that chain 💅✨
