STRUCT DRM_GEM_CLOSE(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Hiii bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct drm_gem_close(9). She’s the argument for the &DRM_IOCTL_GEM_CLOSE ioctl, and she’s literally right here, being small and iconic. no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Here’s the whole struct in all her tiny, legendary glory — copy it exactly, bestie:

struct drm_gem_close {
    __u32 handle;
    __u32 pad;
 };

🫶 Members 🫶

• handle — the handle of the object to be closed. That’s her whole job, and she ate.
• pad — padding. Literally just padding, no notes, we move.

💅 Description 💅

Okay so the actual plot is short and sweet: this releases the handle to an mm object. That’s the assignment. periodt. ✨
