kunit_remove_resource(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 kunit_remove_resource(9) 🎀

okay bestie, so we're in the Kernel API Manual today — this is the kunit_remove_resource(9) page, and honestly? it's a short one but it matters. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

kunit_remove_resource — remove resource from resource list associated with test. that's it. that's the whole gig. she's a deleter, an un-lister, a "you don't sit with us anymore" for test resources 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void kunit_remove_resource (struct kunit *test , struct kunit_resource
*res );

no return value, no drama — void and done ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • test — The test context object. the main character of this whole situation, lowkey 👑
  • res — The resource to be removed. the one getting politely escorted out 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea, and it's important tea, so pay attention bestie:

Note that the resource will not be immediately freed since it is likely the caller has a reference to it via alloc_and_get or find; in this case a final call to kunit_put_resource is required.

so like... she's removed from the list, but she is NOT freed yet. this is giving "moved out but still has a key to the apartment" 😭 because most likely you, the caller, are still holding a reference to her via alloc_and_get or find. so if you want her actually gone-gone, you need one final kunit_put_resource call. that's the last step. don't skip it fr fr 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

like, all her friends, in order, no cap:

and that's the page, bestie! 🌈 this lil icon lives in ./include/kunit and she's dated October 2026 — remember her fondly, put your reference down, and slay the test suite 💜✨💅
