rproc_put(9)

💖 rproc_put(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual, this one's rproc_put(9) and it's honestly a little emo but in a slay way 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

rproc_put — release rproc reference 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void rproc_put (struct rproc *rproc );

like yes that's the whole signature, she's tidy 💖

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rproc — the remote processor handle 👑 (this is the one you're letting go of, be gentle)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this function decrements the rproc dev refcount. That's it. That's the whole job. ✨

And then — and this is the main character moment — if no one holds any reference to rproc anymore, then its refcount would now drop to zero, and it would be freed. 💀 So like, after this call your handle might literally not exist anymore, no cap. act accordingly 🙈
