igb_remove(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay so welcome to the igb_remove(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨ — this one is all about the Device Removal Routine. It’s giving “the PCI subsystem is tapping the driver on the shoulder like hey, you need to let this PCI device go” energy 🫶.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void igb_remove (struct pci_dev *pdev );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• pdev — the PCI device information struct 💅. That’s the whole vibe here.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So igb_remove is called by the PCI subsystem to alert the driver that it should release a PCI device. Iconic behavior, honestly 👑.

This can be caused by a Hot-Plug event, or because the driver is going to be removed from memory. Either way, igb_remove is the main character in that exact moment, and it’s literally just there to handle the release notification 💖.

No extra side quests: it’s a removal routine, and that’s the whole point 🔥.
