hey bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for pcmcia_release_io(9) β yes, section 9, we're in our kernel era π

π NAME π
pcmcia_release_io - release I/O allocated by a PCMCIA device
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
the whole call is giving:
void pcmcia_release_io (struct pcmcia_device *p_dev );
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
p_devβ pcmcia device. that's the whole argument, no cap π
π DESCRIPTION π
pcmcia_release_io releases the I/O ranges allocated by a PCMCIA device. β¨
okay so timing tea: this may be invoked some time after a card ejection has already dumped the actual socket configuration. so if the client is "stale", we don't bother checking the port ranges against the current socket values. periodt π
