igc_remove(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the tea on igc_remove(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it's the Device Removal Routine, and the function name is literally igc_remove. 💅

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

void igc_remove (struct pci_dev *pdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — PCI device information struct. That's the PCI device information struct, and it's the whole argument. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

igc_remove is called by the PCI subsystem to alert the driver that it should release a PCI device. Translation: PCI is knocking on the driver's door like “bestie, this device is leaving, pls release it.” 😭

This can happen because of a Hot-Plug event, or because the driver is going to be removed from memory. Either way, igc_remove is the official heads-up. no cap. 🔥
