octep_vf_free_irqs(9)

💅 octep_vf_free_irqs — free all registered interrupts

okay so real talk, this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-space flex 💪) and it's genuinely one of the most important little cleanup functions in the Octeon VF driver. Bestie, if you don't call this on the way out, those interrupts are gonna linger like a situationship. We don't do that here. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void octep_vf_free_irqs (struct octep_vf_device *oct );

that's it. one function, one pointer, zero return value. it's giving "no notes" energy tbqh 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• oct — the Octeon device's private data structure. yes, that one. the little struct that knows everything about your device. hand it over and let it do its thing 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? it frees all the queue and non-queue interrupts of the Octeon device. like, all of them. queue interrupts? gone. non-queue interrupts? also gone. it's a full sweep, no crumbs left behind, main character cleanup energy 🔥

think of it as the "thanks for coming, drive safe" at the end of the interrupt party 🌈

ngl the docs source lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell... and this page is dated October 2026, and it's filed under octep_vf_free_irqs(9) in the Kernel API Manual. that's the whole tea 🍓

k bye, go free those irqs, ily 💖🧚‍♀️
