ice_free_hw_res(9)

💖 ice_free_hw_res(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it bestie ✨

okay so bestie, this is the ice_free_hw_res(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about freeing an allocated HW resource. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_free_hw_res — free allocated HW resource. periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is giving int, and here it is exactly:

int ice_free_hw_res (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 type , u16 num , u16 *res
);

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• hw — pointer to the HW struct. literally the main character pointer 🧚
• type — type of resource to free. know the type, bestie 🔥
• num — number of resources. how many we're freeing, no cap 💀
• res — pointer to array that contains the resources to free. the actual array pointer, slay 🌈
