ibmvfc_release_tgt(9)

💖 NAME 💖

ibmvfc_release_tgt — Free memory allocated for a target.

okay so this is literally the cleanup bestie of the ibmvfc squad 💅 she shows up, frees the memory that was allocated for a target, and exits. no cap, that's the whole assignment.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ibmvfc_release_tgt (struct kref *kref );

the signature is giving minimal and we respect that ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• kref — kref struct. that's it. one struct, one job, and she's out. iykyk 🎀
