qed_mcp_trac...ee_meta_data(9)

💅 qed_mcp_trace_free_meta_data — the Kernel API Manual, section 9 bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're in the 9 section of the Kernel API Manual, flipping through pages, and you land on qed_mcp_trace_free_meta_data. Iconic. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_mcp_trace_free_meta_data — bestie, this one frees the MCP Trace meta data. that's the whole job. and like, it literally says it in the name, so no cap there 🫶

the important vibe check though: you should call this after continuous MCP Trace parsing. non-negotiable. parse first, then free. in that order. periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void qed_mcp_trace_free_meta_data (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn );

that's it. one function, one argument, returns nothing. lowkey elegant, ngl 🌈

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• p_hwfn — HW device data. that's your hardware function girlypop, the thing you hand over so it knows which device we're talking about 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Void. like, literally nothing comes back. it's giving "does the thing and leaves" energy 💀 no return value, no drama, no crumbs 🎀

like, that's a whole group chat right there. iykyk 💜

one lil heads up bestie: we free the meta data after the continuous MCP Trace parsing is done. don't be out here freeing first, that's not the assignment 🙈
