ice_vsi_free_q_vectors(9)

💅 ice_vsi_free_q_vectors(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9, where the cool kernel-function pages live ✨), and today's main character is ice_vsi_free_q_vectors — the little function that hands memory back when the interrupt vectors are done doing their thing. no cap, it's a cleanup baddie.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vsi_free_q_vectors — frees the memory that was allocated for interrupt vectors 🧚

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_vsi_free_q_vectors (struct ice_vsi *vsi );

it returns void, meaning it gives you nothing back except peace of mind 💜 and it takes exactly one argument. slay.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vsi — the VSI that's having its memory freed. yes, that's the whole argument. it's giving "one job, done well" 👑

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and extremely to the point. memory freed, vibe immaculate, no notes. 🌈
