vmw_simple_r...base_release(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the vmw_simple_r...base_release(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and the function is vmw_simple_resource_base_release — a TTM object release callback. short name, big release-day energy, fr fr.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, kept exact because code is sacred:

void vmw_simple_resource_base_release (struct ttm_base_object **p_base
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p_base — the struct ttm_base_object member of the simple resource object. that's the one we're handling, bestie.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this callback is called when the last reference to the embedded struct ttm_base_object is gone. gone gone ✨

typically that results in an object free — the object gets freed, no cap — unless there are other references to the embedded struct vmw_resource still out here keeping it alive. so close, but not free yet 😭
