ice_adapter_put(9)

💅 ice_adapter_put(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you've got a shared ice_adapter structure, and you grabbed a reference to it at some point with ice_adapter_get. This page? It's the let go moment. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_adapter_put — release a reference to the shared ice_adapter structure. That's it, that's the whole vibe. You're giving the reference back. Very demure, very mindful.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_adapter_put (struct pci_dev *pdev );

Copy it exactly like that, okay? The spacing is what it is, and we do not fix it. 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pdev — pointer to the pci_dev whose driver is releasing the ice_adapter. Like, whose driver is doing the releasing? That one. It's the pci_dev that tells you who's handing the reference back. 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This releases the reference to ice_adapter that you previously obtained with ice_adapter_get. That's the whole thing — the get/put pair, the classic duo, the main character and their emotional support function. You took a reference, now you give it back. Balance is restored to the universe. 🌈

---

🔥 CONTEXT 🔥

Process, may sleep.

No cap — it may sleep, so please don't go calling this from somewhere that can't handle sleeping. That's literally the caveat. Respect it. 😭

And that's the page, bestie! 🍓 This one comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026 — a little time capsule from the Kernel API Manual, brought to you with love and absolutely zero held-back references. Slay. 💅✨
