okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_sriov_free_vf — yes the (9) is part of the name, we're being fancy 💅. This is the final-cleanup girlie of the VF world, and we're gonna walk through it together, no cap 🫶.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_sriov_free_vf (struct ice_vf *vf );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• vf — pointer to VF to free; literally the main character of this cleanup moment 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here's the tea ☕: this function is called by ice_put_vf through ice_release_vf once the last reference to a VF structure has been dropped.
