velocity_remove(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

velocity_remove — device unplug. And yes bestie, this is the velocity_remove(9) manual page, welcome to the unplug episode 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int velocity_remove (struct device *dev );

📦 ARGUMENTS 📦

• dev — device being removed

💬 DESCRIPTION 💬

Okay so picture this 🫶: this is the device unload callback. It gets called on an unplug, or on module unload, for each active device that is present. What does it do? It disconnects the device from the network layer and frees all the resources. Cleanup queen behavior, honestly 🧹👑
