✨ i915_ggtt_driver_late_release(9) ✨

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this page is from the Kernel API Manual (the i915_ggtt_d...late_release(9) one, yes the header truncates it, no that's not a typo, that's just how the tools rendered it 💅). Buckle up, it's a short one but it's important.

🌸 NAME 🌸

i915_ggtt_driver_late_release — the cleanup of GGTT that has to happen after every single free object has been drained 🫶

like, it's the late-night closing shift of GGTT cleanup. everyone else has gone home, all the free objects are already drained, and now it's this function's turn to tidy up. no cap.

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void i915_ggtt_driver_late_release (struct drm_i915_private *i915 );

that's it. one function, void return, one argument. simple, iconic, does exactly what it says on the tin ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• i915 — the i915 device 💖 (literally the whole device struct pointer, that's the tea)

---

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/intel_ggtt.c and honestly? go read the whole GGTT friend group, they all hang out together:

• i915_ggtt_init_hw(9)
• i915_ggtt_suspend_vm(9)
• i915_ggtt_driver_release(9)
• i915_ggtt_probe_hw(9)
• i915_ggtt_resume_vm(9)

iykyk — these are the siblings, this one is just the one who shows up last and locks the door 🌙

lowkey a reminder that "late release" means late for a reason — all the free objects have to be drained before this runs, so don't go calling it early, bestie 😭 that's the whole point of the name.

and that's the whole page, periodt 💅 this gem came out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt and it's dated October 2026 — so yes, come back in the future, it'll still be here 👑🌸💜
