🌸 octep_device_cleanup(9) 🌸

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about tidying up after an Octeon device πŸ’… bestie, we love a cleanup arc.


✨ NAME ✨

octep_device_cleanup β€” literally just Cleanup Octeon Device. that's the whole thing. it cleans. it's the cleanup one. 🧹


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void octep_device_cleanup (struct octep_device *oct );

no return value, it just goes and does the thing 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • oct β€” the Octeon device private data structure. yes the private one. that's your main character right there πŸ‘‘

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so what does it actually do? it cleans up the resources that were allocated for the Octeon device. that's it. that's the vibe. everything the device grabbed along the way gets released, and the function returns nothing because it's not here to give you a report card, it's here to clean ✨

ngl it's giving "end of the party, everyone grab your coats" energy πŸŽ€


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

okay this list is long and honestly iconic β€” every one of these is a sibling function in the same little family, so go read them if you want the full lore iykyk πŸ“š

the kernel file itself lives at:

./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeon_ep/octep_main.c

and the whole squad is:

like, forty-two whole cross-references. we ate. no crumbs left πŸ“


and that's the page bestie!! πŸ’œ this cutie dropped from the source tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell... and it's dated October 2026 β€” so yeah, future-coded king behavior πŸ‘‘βœ¨
