💅 ice_release_res — Kernel API Manual ✨

ok bestie, welcome to the ice_release_res(9) page — yes, that's the whole manual name, and yes, it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy 🫶

🌸 NAME

ice_release_res — ok so this is the function that gives a resource back. That's it. That's the whole vibe check. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS

void ice_release_res (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_aq_res_ids res );

Returns void, takes two args, zero drama. ✨

✨ ARGUMENTS

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. literally your hardware context, the main character of the whole operation 👑
  • res — resource ID. this is the one you're handing back, no take-backsies 🌈

🦋 DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the tea 🍓: this function releases a resource using the proper Admin Command. That's the entire bit. You point it at your hw struct, you tell it which res you're done with, and it goes through the Admin Command like a polite little angel instead of just ghosting the firmware. no cap, that's the whole plot 😭
