🧊💖 ice_free_res_cntr(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖🧊

okay bestie, welcome to ice_free_res_cntr(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this one is literally about freeing a resource counter, and the way it’s giving “cleanup era” is so real 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_free_res_cntr — free resource counter. that’s the name, that’s the vibe, and honestly it ate 🫶

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

here’s the exact signature, no cap:

int ice_free_res_cntr (struct ice_hw *hw , u8 type , u8 alloc_shared ,
       u16 num_items , u16 counter_id );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. literally the hardware struct pointer, bestie 🫶
• type — type of resource. yep, the resource’s type 🌈
• alloc_shared — if set it is shared else dedicated. set = shared, otherwise dedicated 💅
• num_items — number of entries to be freed for FD resource type. FD resource type specifically, okay? 👑
• counter_id — counter ID resource which needs to be freed. the counter ID that needs freeing, periodt ✨
