vme_irq_free(9)
π vme_irq_free π
Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β specifically the page for vme_irq_free, which is literally the glow-up cleanup era for your VME interrupt. Let's get into it. β¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void vme_irq_free (struct vme_dev *vdev , int level , int statid );
π ARGUMENTS π
vdevβ bestie, this is a pointer to the VME devicestruct vme_devthat's assigned to your driver instance. Like, it's your device, own it. πlevelβ the interrupt priority of the interrupt you're freeing. Yes, the priority. Don't @ me.statidβ the interrupt vector of the interrupt being freed. The vector, bestie. Keep it straight. π¦
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
So what does this actually do? It removes a previously attached callback from a VME interrupt priority/vector. That's it. That's the whole slay. π«Ά
Basically, if you attached something to an interrupt before, this is the function that says "okay we're done here, bye π" and detaches it. Cleanup icon behavior, no cap. π₯
π SEE ALSO π
Like, literally go read the kernel file ./drivers/staging/vme_user/vme.c β it's giving main character energy. And then there's this whole friend group of VME functions you should also check out, periodt:

Okay that's literally the whole page, bestie. Go free those interrupts and live your truth. π
And that's a wrap! This page is from ./drivers/staging/vme_user, dated October 2026, and it's been a pleasure. Stay iconic, stay slay, and may all your callbacks detach cleanly. ππππ
