# drm\_framebuffer\_unregister\_private(9)

unregister a private fb from the lookup idr

## NAME

drm\_framebuffer\_unregister\_private - unregister a private fb from the lookup idr

## SYNOPSIS

**void drm\_framebuffer\_unregister\_private(struct drm\_framebuffer \*** *fb***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*fb*

fb to unregister

## DESCRIPTION

Drivers need to call this when cleaning up driver-private framebuffers, e.g. those used for fbdev. Note that the caller must hold a reference of it's own, i.e. the object may not be destroyed through this call (since it'll lead to a locking inversion).
