💅 ixgbe_release_res — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbe_release_res(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 🎀 this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of a vibe: you've got a resource, you're done with it, you hand it back. that's the whole plot. let's get into it 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_release_res — release a common resource 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ixgbe_release_res (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , enum libie_aq_res_id res
);

like. it returns void. it takes two things. it's giving "no notes, no drama, just release" 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 this is your hardware bestie, the struct you pass around everywhere
  • res — resource ID ⭐ the actual resource you're letting go of

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Release a common resource using ixgbe_aci_release_res. that's it, that's the whole thing 😭 she's a one-liner girlie and honestly? iconic. lowkey the most well-behaved function in the whole file. no cap. 👑

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the kernel file this all lives in:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_e610.c

and now the full friend group 🙈 literally the entire cast, in order, go say hi:

that's the whole page bestie!! 💖 short king of a manpage, we love to see it. go release that resource, you absolute main character 🧚‍♀️🌸
