intel_gvt_clean_gtt(9)

intel_gvt_clean_gtt</p> — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie 💅

okay so real talk, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's called intel_gvt_clean_gtt(9). it's a tiny little function but it's doing important cleanup work, so let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void intel_gvt_clean_gtt (struct intel_gvt *gvt );

that's it. that's the whole signature. one argument, returns void, no drama 💀

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gvt — the GVT device 💖 yeah bestie that's literally the whole description, it's the device, that's the assignment

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — this function gets called at the driver unloading stage. like, when the driver is packing up its bags and heading out, intel_gvt_clean_gtt() is the one making sure the mm components of a GVT device get cleaned up properly. 🧹✨

think of it as the "okay we're leaving, everybody grab your stuff, nobody leave a mess" moment. it's giving responsible main character energy, ngl. 🫶

lowkey reminder bestie: go read gtt.c itself if you want the actual behaviour, this page is just the vibe check 👑

okay and the official sign-off because we have to: this one comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gvt, dated October 2026, and it's page intel_gvt_clean_gtt(9) of the Kernel API Manual. slay, bye 💅🎀🌸
