# usb\_driver\_release\_interface(9)

unbind a driver from an interface

## NAME

usb\_driver\_release\_interface - unbind a driver from an interface

## SYNOPSIS

**void usb\_driver\_release\_interface(struct usb\_driver \*** *driver***, struct usb\_interface \*** *iface***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*driver*

the driver to be unbound

*iface*

the interface from which it will be unbound

## DESCRIPTION

This can be used by drivers to release an interface without waiting for their **disconnect** methods to be called. In typical cases this also causes the driver **disconnect** method to be called.

This call is synchronous, and may not be used in an interrupt context. Callers must own the device lock, so driver **disconnect** entries don't need extra locking, but other call contexts may need to explicitly claim that lock.
