🌸 sg_free_table_chained(9) 🌸

okay bestie, so this one is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the cleanup arc of the sg table saga 💅 nobody talks about the free function but she's the main character of not leaking memory, fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

sg_free_table_chained — free a previously mapped sg table 🧹✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void sg_free_table_chained (struct sg_table *table , unsigned
nents_first_chunk );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• table — the sg table header you're using, bestie. this is the one getting freed 👑
• nents_first_chunk — the size of the first_chunk SGL that you passed to sg_alloc_table_chained. yes, the same number. iykyk 💀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, this frees an sg table that was previously allocated and set up with sg_alloc_table_chained. it's the matching pair, the duo, the two halves of the friendship bracelet 🫶

and listen — nents_first_chunk has to be the same as that same parameter you passed to sg_alloc_table_chained. not "close enough", not "i think it was 4", not "whatever my brain remembers from last tuesday". the same. same-same. that's the vibe check and if you fail it, that's on you 😭

no cap — mismatching this value is not the moment to be cute. it must match exactly what you gave sg_alloc_table_chained.
