✨ pvr_vm_context_release — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the pvr_vm_context_release(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this is like the ~goodbye~ function, and honestly it's giving very much "closing time, you don't gotta go home but you gotta get out of here" energy 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

pvr_vm_context_release — the teardown girlie for a VM context. literally packing it up and saying bye 👋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pvr_vm_context_release (struct kref *ref_count );

like, that's the whole mood. returns nothing (void), takes one thing. slay 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ref_count — pointer to the reference counter of the VM context. yes bestie, a struct kref *, the little refcount baddie itself 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: this function also makes sure that no mappings are left dangling — and how does it do that, you ask? by calling pvr_vm_unmap_all. no orphaned mappings left on read, periodt 💀✨

fr fr, "no mappings left dangling" is the whole vibe — nothing gets ghosted here except the context itself 🧚

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

everything below lives in the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/imagination/pvr_vm.c — go read it, iykyk 📖

like, that's a whole friend group right there — the full pvr_vm.c extended universe 🌈👑

that's the page, bestie!! 🍓 this lil gem comes from ./drivers/gpu/drm/imagination, dated October 2026, and it's filed under pvr_vm_context_release(9) in the Kernel API Manual. go off, and remember: refcounts are main character energy — handle with care 💜✨🎀
