vhost_iotlb_map_free(9)

💅 vhost_iotlb_map_free(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so before we even get into it — this is vhost_iotlb_map_free(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely one of the most "in and out, no notes" functions in the whole vhost situation. she shows up, she removes a map node, she frees it, she leaves. main character energy but make it a cleanup function 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vhost_iotlb_map_free — literally just remove a map node and free it, that's the whole personality 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, copy it exactly, no editing:

void vhost_iotlb_map_free (struct vhost_iotlb *iotlb , struct
vhost_iotlb_map *map );

like yes she returns void, she takes two pointers, she's not complicated, she's not doing the most 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

two of them. two little besties. iconic.

• iotlb — the IOTLB. that's it, that's the description, she's the IOTLB 🫶
• map — the map that want to be remove and freed. yes, that phrasing, i'm keeping it, it's giving "the map has been waiting its whole life for this moment" 😭

ngl this page is short and that's a flex — not every manpage needs to be a whole saga 💀

and that's the tea, bestie 🍓 this one came from ./drivers/vhost, dated October 2026, and yes it's vhost_iotlb_map_free(9) from the Kernel API Manual — mwah, go free those maps, slay 👑💜
