💅 ipc3_probes_deinit(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real quick — this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's all about ipc3_probes_deinit. grab a strawberry drink and let's get into it 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

ipc3_probes_deinit — cleanup after data probing, aka the "we're so done here" era 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ipc3_probes_deinit (struct sof_client_dev *cdev );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cdev — the SOF client device in question. that's the one, that's the main character 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: the host sends a DEINIT request to free a probe that was already initialized on the DSP side, once that probe is literally no longer needed. like, it served its purpose, let it go 🫶

but listen — only DEINIT when there are no probes connected and all injectors are detached. that's the rule, no cap. don't be out here deiniting with probes still attached, that's not the move 🙈
