ipc_protocol_deinit(9)

💅 ipc_protocol_deinit(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-down page for ipc_protocol_deinit 🎀 this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a short one. she's brief. she's iconic. she does exactly one thing and she does it well. periodt.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ipc_protocol_deinit — deallocates the IPC protocol instance 🗑️✨

like, she's the cleanup queen. the reverse of a glow-up. the "okay we're done here, pack it up" of the IPC protocol world.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ipc_protocol_deinit (struct iosm_protocol *ipc_protocol );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no return value (void, so she gives you nothing back, and honestly? relatable 😭), one singular argument, zero drama. no cap. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ipc_protocol — pointer to the IPC protocol instance 💖 this is the one (1) thing you gotta hand her. just a pointer, bestie, that's all she needs. she takes it, she deallocates it, she moves on with main character energy 👑

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this is the part where the original page just dumps the whole friend group on you, so let's give them their moment 💅 all of these live in the kernel file ./drivers/net/wwan/iosm/iosm_ipc_protocol.h — go say hi:

• struct ipc_protocol_context_info(9)
• struct ipc_protocol_device_info(9)
• struct ipc_protocol_ap_shm(9)
• struct iosm_protocol(9)
• struct ipc_call_msg_send_args(9)
• ipc_protocol_tq_msg_send(9)
• ipc_protocol_msg_send(9)
• ipc_protocol_suspend(9)
• ipc_protocol_s2idle_sleep(9)
• ipc_protocol_resume(9)
• ipc_protocol_pm_dev_sleep_handle(9)
• ipc_protocol_doorbell_trigger(9)
• ipc_protocol_sleep_notification_string(9)
• ipc_protocol_init(9)

and yeah, ipc_protocol_init(9) is literally her sister page — one builds it up, this one tears it down. the way that they're a matching set 😭💖 iykyk.

lowkey reminder: this page gives you the deallocation half. if you're looking for the setup half, that's ipc_protocol_init(9), bestie. don't come for me, i'm just the messenger 🫶

aaaand that's the whole page, she's short and sweet like a lil strawberry 🍓 thanks for reading, bestie — this one's from the kernel source path ./drivers/net/wwan/iosm, dated October 2026, and it's giving "see you in the next manpage" energy 🌈⭐ bye bestie!! 💜🧚‍♀️
