πŸ’– intel_region...esource_free(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” yes, the header is literally intel_region...esource_free(9) with the middle all squished out (iykyk, man page names get truncated like that sometimes, it's giving "screen name cut off at 8 characters" energy) but the actual function we're stanning is intel_region_ttm_resource_free. Let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_region_ttm_resource_free β€” free a resource that was allocated from a resource manager πŸŽ€

Like, it's the cleanup era. You allocate, you live your life, and then you give it back. Main character exit. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void intel_region_ttm_resource_free (struct intel_memory_region *mem ,
       struct ttm_resource *res );

no cap, that's the whole signature πŸ”₯ β€” returns void, takes two things, done. lowkey elegant.


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • mem β€” the region the resource was allocated from 🏠. Like, which memory region is this resource's home base, y'know? You gotta know where it came from to send it back there.
  • res β€” the opaque resource representing an allocation 🎁. "Opaque" is just fancy talk for "you don't peek inside, you just hold it and pass it along" β€” respect its privacy fr fr.

πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

the whole friend group, honestly 🌈 β€” alloc is literally the sibling of this one, so if you're here you probably wanna meet that one too 🧚


πŸ’€ real talk: this is the free half of the pair. Everything in the SEE ALSO list is the surrounding cast β€” init, fini, device init, device fini, conversion, allocation. Read them together and it all makes sense, iykyk.

okay that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that πŸ“βœ¨ mwah πŸ’‹ β€” sourced from ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915, dated October 2026, and your header was intel_region...esource_free(9) the whole time (yes, still with the ellipsis, we love a truncated icon πŸ‘‘). bye bestie, go free some resources responsibly πŸ’–πŸŒΈπŸ¦‹
