i40e_free_adminq_asq(9)

💅 NAME 💅

i40e_free_adminq_asq — okay so this one frees the Admin Queue send rings, bestie ✨

(this lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, mwah 🎀)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_free_adminq_asq (struct i40e_hw *hw );

Not me giving you the exact signature so you can't mess it up 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure ✨ that's it, that's the whole argument list, iconic

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So here's the vibe check 👑: this function assumes the posted send buffers have already been cleaned and de-allocated. Like, already done. Handled. Wrapped up before you got here 🙈

Lowkey important, bestie — this is an assumption, not a guarantee it'll do that for you. If those buffers haven't been cleaned and de-allocated yet, that's on you, not on this function 💀
