gether_detach_gadget(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to gether_detach_gadget(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is folded right in here all cute so we don't copy that header line. 💖 This page is short, but it's important, and we're gonna get through it together.

💅 NAME 💅

gether_detach_gadget — detach a net_device from its gadget parent. Literally that's the whole vibe: it unhooks the network device from the gadget parent. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void gether_detach_gadget (struct net_device *net );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• net — the network device to detach. That's the one getting moved, bestie. 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea: this function moves the network device so it becomes a child of the virtual devices parent. That effectively detaches it from the USB gadget device hierarchy. ✨

And when does this happen? Typically when the function is unbound from a configuration but the instance is not yet freed. So it's like, “the config said bye, but the instance is still here for a sec” — and this function handles the detach moment. 💅
