__intel_wakeref_put(9)

okay bestie, welcome to __intel_wakeref_put(9) from the Kernel API Manual — yes, we’re doing this, and yes, it’s gonna make sense 💖

✨ NAME ✨

__intel_wakeref_put — release the wakeref, bestie. That’s the whole vibe: put it down, let it go, bye 👋💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void __intel_wakeref_put (struct intel_wakeref *wf , unsigned long flags
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• wf — the wakeref. That’s it, that’s the argument 🫶
• flags — control flags. Control-flag behavior, no cap ⭐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here’s the tea: this function releases our hold on the wakeref 💅

When there are no more users, the runtime pm wakeref will be released after the intel_wakeref_ops->put callback is called underneath the wakeref mutex. That’s the order, bestie — callback underneath the wakeref mutex, then the runtime pm wakeref release when the users are gone ✨

⚠️ note time: intel_wakeref_ops->put is allowed to fail, in which case the runtime-pm wakeref is retained. no cap, that’s literally the caveat 😭
