okay bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s all about the shutdown-processing era of PCI-based HCDs. Let’s get into it, no cap ✨

✨ NAME ✨

• usb_hcd_pci_remove — shutdown processing for PCI-based HCDs 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void usb_hcd_pci_remove (struct pci_dev *dev );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the USB Host Controller that’s being removed 🫶

---

🌸 CONTEXT 🌸

It runs in task context, and it might sleep 😴 — so like, plan accordingly, bestie.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This function is the reverse of usb_hcd_pci_probe, and it kicks things off by invoking the HCD’s stop method. Literally undoing the probe’s whole moment, periodt 🔥

It’s always called from a thread context — normally rmmod, apmd, or something similar. iykyk 👑

Store this function in the HCD’s struct pci_driver as remove. That’s the assignment, and it ate 💅
