# remove\_resource(9)

Remove a resource in the resource tree

## NAME

remove\_resource - Remove a resource in the resource tree

## SYNOPSIS

**int remove\_resource(struct resource \*** *old***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*old*

resource to remove

## DESCRIPTION

Returns 0 on success, -EINVAL if the resource is not valid.

This function removes a resource previously inserted by **insert\_resource** or **insert\_resource\_conflict**, and moves the children (if any) up to where they were before. **insert\_resource** and **insert\_resource\_conflict** insert a new resource, and move any conflicting resources down to the children of the new resource.

**insert\_resource**, **insert\_resource\_conflict** and **remove\_resource** are intended for producers of resources, such as FW modules and bus drivers.
