i3c_dev_free_ibi_locked(9)

💅 i3c_dev_free_ibi_locked(9) 💅

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's a little cleanup queen and we stan her for it 🧹✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

i3c_dev_free_ibi_locked — frees up all the resources you need for IBI handling 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i3c_dev_free_ibi_locked (struct i3c_dev_desc *dev );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the device you wanna release the IBI resources on, bestie. that's the whole vibe check 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function's whole job — her main character moment — is de-allocating the resources that were previously allocated by i3c_device_request_ibi 😌✨

and like, important: you should call her after you've disabled IBIs with i3c_device_disable_ibi. order matters, no cap 🔥

---

👑 CONTEXT 👑

ngl this one's non-negotiable: must be called with mutex_lock(dev->desc->ibi_lock) held. held! as in already locked by you. don't come in here unlocked, that's giving undefined behaviour energy 💀🔒
