ttm_prime_refcount_release(9)

✨ ttm_prime_refcount_release(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

ttm_prime_refcount_release — refcount release method for a prime object. That’s the whole vibe, bestie: it’s the release method, and it’s for a prime object. Slay. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here’s the signature, copy it exactly:

void ttm_prime_refcount_release (struct ttm_base_object **p_base );

💬 ARGUMENTS 💬

• p_base — pointer to a ttm_base_object pointer. Yes, pointer-to-pointer. Double-pointer realness. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is a wrapper that calls the underlying object’s refcount_release founction (yes bestie, that’s the manpage’s spelling 😭) — and at the same time it cleans up the prime object.

It’s called when all references to the base object we derive from are gone. So: zero refs left, time to release and clean up. Periodt. ✨
