tb_cfg_request_put(9)

💅 tb_cfg_request_put — the Kernel API Manual

okay bestie, welcome to the tb_cfg_request_put(9) page 💖 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's honestly so short and sweet — like, a tiny little function with big main character energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tb_cfg_request_put — decrease the refcount and possibly release the request 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void tb_cfg_request_put (struct tb_cfg_request *req );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• req — the request whose refcount is about to get decreased 💅 that's it, that's the whole argument, she's lowkey simple like that

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the vibe: you call this function when you are done with the request. like, fully done, no take-backsies, you've said your goodbyes 👋

and when the refcount goes to 0? the object gets released 🔥 periodt. that's the whole deal. no cap, that's the entire description and honestly she ate 🍓

ngl bestie, keep track of your refcounts — 0 means the object is gone, so don't come back looking for it 🙈 that's just how it is
