sdw_stream_remove_slave(9)

✨ sdw_stream_remove_slave — bestie's guide to the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for sdw_stream_remove_slave(9) — yes the (9) is giving very much "this is kernel-internal, you're in the right neighborhood" energy 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sdw_stream_remove_slave — literally just remove slave from sdw_stream, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int sdw_stream_remove_slave (struct sdw_slave *slave , struct
       sdw_stream_runtime *stream );

so she takes two args and hands you back an int. no cap ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• slave — your SDW Slave instance, the lil guy in question 🧚
• stream — the SoundWire stream, aka the vibe she's being pulled out of 🌈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what she actually does: she removes and frees port_rt and slave_rt from a stream. both of them. gone. iconic 💀

but listen — if stream is NULL or an ERR_PTR, she does nothing and returns 0. not a crash, not a fuss, just 0. main character restraint, honestly 👑
