💅 intel_dp_tunnel_destroy(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, page intel_dp_tunnel_destroy(9). this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of a goodbye page?? like it's literally about tearing things down. we love a clean exit ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_dp_tunnel_destroy — Destroy a DP tunnel

like, destroy it destroy it. bye-bye tunnel 🫶

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

void intel_dp_tunnel_destroy (struct intel_dp *intel_dp );

no return value, no drama, she just does the thing and leaves. main character energy fr.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • intel_dp — the DP port object the tunnel is connected to. that's your girl. the whole function is about her and her tunnel. 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what it does: it destroys a DP tunnel connected to intel_dp — but NOT before disabling the BW allocation mode on the tunnel first. order matters, bestie, we don't just yank the tunnel out with the bandwidth still allocated, that's giving chaos 😭

the manpage says this should be called while destroying the port. so like, it's part of the port teardown era of the port's life. not a random Tuesday thing. keep it in the cleanup, iykyk. 🔥

tl;dr: turn off BW allocation mode → then destroy the tunnel → and do it during port destroy. periodt. 💀
