ab8500_chargalg_work(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ab8500_chargalg_work — like, the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and the function we're hyping up today is ab8500_chargalg_work. It's the work item that makes the charging algorithm run right now — instantly, no waiting, main character energy only. 🔥

✨ NAME ✨

ab8500_chargalg_work — the work that runs the charging algorithm instantly, fr fr. No queuing up behind other vibes, just go.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void ab8500_chargalg_work (struct work_struct *work );

That's it. That's the whole signature. One (1) parameter, zero (0) returns, because it's void and it said what it said. 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • work — pointer to the work_struct structure. yes, it's a work struct, being pointed at, by a pointer. we love a self-explanatory icon. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it do? It's the work queue function for calling the charging algorithm. That's the whole thing, and honestly? iconic. It's the lil' hook that says "hey, algorithm, run now please" and the algorithm is like "say less." ⚡

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this section is basically the whole friend group, so let's introduce everybody. the kernel file lives at ./drivers/power/supply/ab8500_chargalg.c, and these are all the structs and functions doing their thing alongside our girl:

like, the whole squad. literally all of them. go read them too, iykyk. 😭💖

ngl the only argument is a struct work_struct *work and there's no return value, so if you were hoping for a plot twist — there isn't one. it just does the thing. periodt. 🧚

and that's the page bestie!! this lil' drop came to you from the source at ./drivers/power/supply, dated October 2026 — mwah, slay, go charge something. 🌈🍓💜
