pvr_destroy_...xts_for_file(9)
Okay so welcome to pvr_destroy_...xts_for_file(9), straight outta the Kernel API Manual β section 9, bestie. This page is all about pvr_destroy_vm_contexts_for_file, and it is lowkey a cleanup baddie. No cap. π
β¨ NAME β¨
pvr_destroy_vm_contexts_for_file β Destroy any VM contexts associated with the given file.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void pvr_destroy_vm_contexts_for_file (struct pvr_file *pvr_file );
Yep, itβs a void function β no return value to catch, she just does the thing. π
π ARGUMENTS π
pvr_fileβ Pointer topvr_filestructure. Thatβs the file pointer youβre handing over, bestie.
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Removes all vm_contexts associated with pvr_file from the device VM context list and drops initial references. vm_contexts will then be destroyed once all outstanding references are dropped.
Bestie translation: she takes thevm_contextstied topvr_fileoff the device VM context list and drops the initial references. The actual destruction waits until every outstanding reference is gone β so do not expect instant deletion while refs are still out there. The drop has to hit zero first. Periodt. π₯
