💅 iavf_free_dma_mem(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is iavf_free_dma_mem — literally just a wrapper for DMA memory freeing 💖 no cap, that's the whole vibe. It's giving "the cleanup bestie who shows up after the party" and honestly? Iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

iavf_free_dma_mem — a wrapper for DMA memory freeing 🧚

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum iavf_status iavf_free_dma_mem (struct iavf_hw *hw , struct
iavf_dma_mem *mem );

like yes, that's the signature, keep it exactly like that bestie, no renaming 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 👑 (the hardware bestie, the main character)
• mem — ptr to mem struct to free 🎀 (the memory struct you're gonna release, bye girl)

okay this list is long — like, genuinely enormous — but every single one of these is part of the squad and we do not leave anyone out, periodt 💜 The kernel file it lives in is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf/iavf_main.c 🗂️ and here's everybody it hangs with:
