✨ wx_free_q_vector(9) ✨ — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a little cleanup baddie — it's all about letting go and freeing stuff, and honestly? iconic behaviour.

🌸 NAME 🌸

wx_free_q_vector — free memory allocated for specific interrupt vector 🧚

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void wx_free_q_vector (struct wx *wx , int v_idx );

that's the whole signature, no cap. void return, so nothing comes back — it just does the thing and dips 💨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • wx — board private structure to initialize. yep, that's what the page says, we're keeping it 💖
  • v_idx — index of vector to be freed. so like, which vector are we saying bye to 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does it actually do? this function frees the memory allocated to the q_vector — that's the main character move, periodt 🔥

and there's a bonus round: if NAPI is enabled, it will also delete any references to the NAPI struct prior to freeing the q_vector ✨ so no dangling lil pointers left behind, we love a clean exit 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file livin' at ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun/libwx/wx_lib.c — go say hi to it 💌

and like, the whole friend group:

quick vibe check: this one's a free-er, so it's paired up with its alloc besties up there (wx_alloc_q_vector, wx_alloc_q_vectors) — iykyk 💀

✨ that's the whole page, bestie ✨ source/version: ./drivers/net/ethernet/wangxun... and it's dated October 2026 🗓️💖 mwah, go free those vectors responsibly 🫶🎀
