mpi3mr_remove(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mpi3mr_remove — like, the farewell tour for your controller 💖

okay so real talk, bestie: this is mpi3mr_remove(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's the page you read when the PCI device has to ~leave the party~. It's short, it's sweet, it's the goodbye scene. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_remove — the PCI remove callback. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's the function the kernel calls when it's time to pack up 🧳

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mpi3mr_remove (struct pci_dev *pdev );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pdev — the PCI device instance. like, the actual device we're saying bye to. main character of the teardown 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does it actually do? It cleans up the IOC — and the way it does that is by issuing MUR and a shutdown notification. periodt. 💅

Then it goes full cleanup mode: free up all the memory and resources associated with the controller and target devices, and unregister the shost. everything tied to this controller? gone. every resource? released. the shost? unregistered. no crumbs left behind, no cap 🧹✨

honestly it's giving "responsible friend who actually cleans up after the party" and we stan 😌

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Nothing. nope, not even a status code. it returns void — nothing to check, nothing to unwrap, just vibes and a job done 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay bestie, buckle up, because the cross-reference list here is long — it's basically the entire friend group 🫶. Here's every single one, exactly as written:

iykyk, that's the whole squad 💀💖

if you're reading this because your controller is going away: that's normal, that's the design, don't panic. it's a graceful exit, not a crash 🧚

and that's a wrap, bestie 🎀 this page lives over in ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr, stamped October 2026, and it's filed under mpi3mr_remove(9) — go forth and unregister your shosts responsibly 💜✨
