mpi3mr_free_mem(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mpi3mr_free_mem — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

Okay so picture this: it's a mpi3mr driver function in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and its whole personality is "clean up your mess." Welcome to mpi3mr_free_mem.

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_free_mem — frees up the memory that was allocated for a controller. That's it, that's the job. 🧹

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mpi3mr_free_mem (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc );

Yeah she returns void, she takes one pointer, she's lowkey iconic for that. No cap.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • mrioc — the adapter instance reference. Literally just your struct mpi3mr_ioc *, the controller's whole vibe in one pointer. Bestie, you gotta hand her the controller info or she has nothing to free. 😭

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So what does it actually do? It frees all the memory that was allocated for a controller. All of it. Every last byte that the controller was holding onto — gone, released, returned to the void. ✨

It's giving "end of the party, everyone grab your coats." No leftovers, no stragglers, no forgotten buffers lingering in the group chat. 💀

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Nothing. Nada. Zero. She returns void, so like… don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one. 🫶

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Okay bestie, buckle up, because the whole squad is tagged in this one — the source file is ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_fw.c and here's every single friend in the extended universe:

Also, heads up: mpimr_initialize_reply_sbuf_queues(9) is spelled exactly like that in the original. Yes, mpimr, not mpi3mr. Not me fixing it — I don't edit the canon. 🙈

And that's the whole page, bestie. 💖 This lil slice of the Kernel API Manual lives at ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr and is dated October 2026 — so mark your calendar, screenshot it, send it to the group chat. 🎀 Slay, free your memory, and stay hydrated. 🦋✨
