ubi_free_volume(9)

💅 ubi_free_volume 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes the whole manual, we're doing this 🎀 this page is literally about ubi_free_volume, and it's short, sweet, and honestly iconic for it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ubi_free_volume — free volume. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ubi_free_volume (struct ubi_device *ubi , struct ubi_volume *vol );

no return value, no drama, it just does the thing and dips 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ubi — the UBI device description object 🫶 like, the device-level context this whole thing hangs off of.
• vol — the volume description object 💖 the specific volume we're about to clean up after.

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's the tea ☕ this function frees all the resources for the volume vol — every last one, no crumbs left — but it does not remove it. ngl that distinction is the whole personality of this function, so don't sleep on it 😭

bestie pls note: this one is used only when the UBI device is detached. it's giving very specific-circumstances-only, very "iykyk". 🙈
