💖 xe_guc_exec...snapshot_free(9) 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a lil shorty but she's important. bestie, we're talking about freeing stuff. cleanup era. we love to see it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xe_guc_exec_queue_snapshot_free — literally frees all the allocated objects for a given snapshot. that's it. that's the whole vibe. declutter queen 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void xe_guc_exec_queue_snapshot_free (struct
       xe_guc_submit_exec_queue_snapshot *snapshot );

like, it returns void (nothing back, no notes, she's not texting first) and it takes one pointer. keep the exact signature pls, no typos, iykyk 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • snapshot — the GuC Submit Engine snapshot object. that's your girl. hand her over and let her go 🕊️

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what this function does is free all the memory that needed to be allocated at capture time. like, at capture time we were like "ok we need memory for this" and now we're like "ok we're done, bye memory" 😭

no cap, that's the entire description. she's efficient. she's to the point. main character energy tbh.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole friend group, fr fr — and the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_guc_submit.c:

like, go read them too. group chat is popping off 💀

lowkey reminder: every single one of those cross-refs is real and spelled exactly like that, so don't come for me if you can't find them — they're all right there in ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe 🧚

and that's the page bestie!! 🍓 source lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/xe, dated October 2026 — so like, from the future, iconic behavior honestly. periodt. 💜🔥
