mpi3mr_bsg_node_release(9)

🎀 mpi3mr_bsg_node_release(9) 🎀

okay bestie, so we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a tiny little function — like, criminally short — but she's important, so let's give her the main character energy she deserves 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_bsg_node_release — releases a bsg device node, that's literally it, that's the whole job 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mpi3mr_bsg_node_release (struct device *dev );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the bsg device node in question, the one we're letting go of 🕊️

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so when it's time to say bye-bye to a bsg device node, this is the girl that handles it: she decrements the bsg dev parent reference count. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one job, done correctly, no drama 🌈

ngl, this is the kind of function that looks like it does nothing but if she doesn't run, the reference count never drops and things get stuck. respect the cleanup girlies fr fr 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Nothing. void. returns nothing, promises nothing, gives nothing back — she's a service 😌💀

alright bestie that's the whole page, hope you slayed 💖 and if you're ever wondering where this came from — it's the ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr source tree, dated October 2026, living under the Kernel API Manual, page mpi3mr_bsg_node_release(9). mwah, bye ✨🎀🦋
