π idpf_send_dealloc_vectors_msg β NAME β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πΈ and buckle up, because this one is a whole function: idpf_send_dealloc_vectors_msg β it Sends virtchnl de allocate vectors message π. that's it, that's the name, and honestly? iconic.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int idpf_send_dealloc_vectors_msg (struct idpf_adapter *adapter );
like, look at her. one argument. zero drama. main character energy fr fr π
π ARGUMENTS π
adapterβ the Driver specific private structure. yes bestie, it's THE struct, the driver's own little private stash β hand it over and let the function do its thing π«Ά
