📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 lpfc_sli4_queue_free — free a queue structure and associated memory 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — section 9, kernel dev land. it's about one single function that cleans up after a queue, and honestly? it's giving janitor energy and i respect it so much 🧹✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_sli4_queue_free — free a queue structure and associated memory

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_sli4_queue_free (struct lpfc_queue *queue );

no return value, no drama, just vibes and freeing 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • queue — the queue structure to free. that's it. that's the whole argument. she's a simple girl 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this function frees a queue structure and the DMAable memory used for the host resident queue. both of them. together. besties going down together 😭

but listen — this function must be called after destroying the queue on the HBA. like, the queue on the HBA gets destroyed first, and then you call this. order matters, no cap. do not skip ahead, do not pass go 🚨

⚠️ the sequencing is not a suggestion, it's the rule: destroy the queue on the HBA, then free here. periodt 💀

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

a truly iconic, main-character-energy list of friends. every single one of them, in order, exactly as the original says — i'm not skipping a single name, that would be disrespectful 🫡

💅 and yes, the original page also points you at the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_sli.c — that's where the source lives, go say hi 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌈 signed off from ./drivers/scsi/lpfc with a big sparkly October 2026 timestamp — that's when this beauty was printed, and we are obsessed 🎀✨💖
