💖 lpfc_els_hbq_free(9) 💖

okay so this is a Kernel API Manual page, bestie — it lives in section 9, and the whole vibe is: we're freeing an HBQ buffer that was allocated with lpfc_els_hbq_alloc. clean up after yourself, icon behavior only 💅

✨ NAME ✨

lpfc_els_hbq_free — frees an HBQ buffer that was allocated with lpfc_els_hbq_alloc 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void lpfc_els_hbq_free (struct lpfc_hba *phba , struct hbq_dmabuf *hbqbp );

like, that's the whole signature. two args, no return, no drama ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• phba — the HBA that the buffer was allocated for 👑
• hbqbp — the HBQ container that lpfc_els_hbq_alloc handed back to you 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so basically this frees both the container and the DMA-mapped buffer that lpfc_els_hbq_alloc returned. both of them. together. no leftovers, no orphaned DMA mappings sitting around giving clutter energy 😭✨

---

🍓 NOTES 🍓

Can be called with or without locks held. yes fr fr, either way is fine — she's flexible like that 🧚

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

None. nothing. void. she gives you nothing back and honestly? that's the point 💀
