xe_exec_queue_destroy(9)

💅 xe_exec_queue_destroy — like, the Kernel API Manual page for it, bestie

okay so real quick: this is xe_exec_queue_destroy(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's honestly kind of a short one but it's important so pay attention 😌

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_exec_queue_destroy — Destroy an exec queue 💀✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void xe_exec_queue_destroy (struct kref *ref );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ref — the reference count of the exec queue. that's it, that's the whole argument, she's lowkey simple like that 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this function gets called when the last reference to the exec queue is dropped — like when the group chat finally goes fully inactive and everyone's left 😭 and then it cleans up all the resources associated with the exec queue. every single one. it's giving responsible main character energy fr fr.

⚠️ but bestie. listen. do NOT call this function directly. the manpage is literally like "should not be called directly" — instead you use xe_exec_queue_put. that's the vibe. respect the vibe check 🙈
