mips_cdmm_release(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mips_cdmm_release(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, specifically the page for mips_cdmm_release — yes that's the whole title, yes we're gonna get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mips_cdmm_release — bestie, this is the one that releases a removed CDMM device 💅 like it literally lets it go. no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mips_cdmm_release (struct device *dev );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she's short and she knows it ⭐

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dev — the device object 🌸 yep, that's the argument, that's the whole thing, it's giving minimalism

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what she actually does: she cleans up the struct mips_cdmm_device for an unused CDMM device 🧚 like tidying the group chat after everyone's left, lowkey iconic of her.

and here's the part where you don't even have to do anything — this is called automatically by the driver core when a device is removed 👑 so the driver core is the main character here and mips_cdmm_release is just showing up and doing her job. periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole friend group, fr fr 💜 and also the kernel file ./drivers/bus/mips_cdmm.c which is where all of these live:

go read all of them, i'll wait 💀 (affectionate)

🍓 reminder bestie: mips_cdmm_release is documented for an unused device, and the driver core fires it automatically on removal. nothing extra, nothing invented — that's the vibe check and she passed 😭

alright that's the page!! big sign-off energy: this one's from ./drivers/bus, dated October 2026, and it's mips_cdmm_release(9) all the way down 👑✨ love u, bye 💖
