ice_devlink_unregister(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-space era 🫢) and it's all about the un-registering side of devlink for the ice driver.


✨ NAME ✨

ice_devlink_unregister β€” unregister the devlink resources for this PF, bestie. that's it. that's the whole job. πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ice_devlink_unregister (struct ice_pf *pf );

literally returns nothing (void, no cap) and takes exactly one thing πŸ‘‡


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • pf β€” the PF structure you wanna clean up. that's the whole argument list, she's low maintenance πŸ’…

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does she actually do? she releases the resources that devlink was using, and she cleans up the associated memory. that's the vibe check and she passes it. πŸ”₯

like, think of it as the goodbye-hug function β€” everything devlink grabbed gets handed back, and the memory that came along with it gets tidied up too. no lingering mess, no ghost allocations, periodt. ✨

ngl this is the cleanup counterpart to ice_devlink_register(9) down in SEE ALSO β€” one sets the party up, this one turns the lights off. 🌈

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

the source lives right here in the kernel tree, iconically:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/devlink/devlink.c

and here's the whole friend group, in the exact order the page lists them β€” no skipping, no cutting, she keeps every single one 🫢


anyway that's the page!! mwah πŸ’‹ the source line on this one is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes it's truncated with the little dots, that's just how the footer shows it, don't come for me πŸ™ˆ) and it's dated October 2026 β€” future girl summer ⭐ so yeah, ice_devlink_unregister(9), see you in the kernel tree, iykyk πŸ§šπŸ’œ
