ionic_intr_free(9)

💅 ionic_intr_free(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's about ionic_intr_free — the lil' cleanup function that gives an interrupt index back to the pool 🎀 no drama, no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ionic_intr_free — release a device interrupt index, periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ionic_intr_free (struct ionic_lif *lif , int intr );

That's it, that's the whole signature — two args, returns nothing (void), she's lowkey humble like that 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• lif — the Logical interface 🌈 like, the LIF you're working with, she's the main character here.
• intr — the Interrupt index 💫 the actual number of the interrupt slot you're handing back.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Mark the interrupt index unused so that it can be reserved again 🔁

That's the whole vibe: you're yeeting the index back into the available pile so somebody else can grab it later with ionic_intr_alloc — recycling is iconic, mother nature is obsessed 🌱✨
