ipu_image_convert_unprepare(9)

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

okay so real talk, this one's from the Kernel API Manual and it's about tidying up a conversion context. very "cleaning your room before guests arrive" energy. iykyk ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ipu_image_convert_unprepare — literally just unprepares a conversion context. that's the whole vibe. she's the cleanup queen 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ipu_image_convert_unprepare (struct ipu_image_convert_ctx *ctx );

no cap, that's the entire signature. void return, one argument, done. ate 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ctx — the conversion context pointer you're unpreparing, bestie. the thing you're saying bye to 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she actually do? she aborts any active or pending conversions for this context and then frees the context. like, gone. freed. no loitering 🧹✨

and important: any currently active or pending runs belonging to this context are returned via the completion callback with an error run status. so they don't just vanish into the void — they come back through the callback, but with an error run status attached. they're not okay, but they're accounted for 😭

🌈 V4L2 note, listen up: in V4L2, drivers should call ipu_image_convert_unprepare at streamoff. not earlier, not vibes-based. at streamoff. periodt 💀
