📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 brcmf_fweh_process_event(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual vibe ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for brcmf_fweh_process_event(9) — yes that's the manual name, yes it's a mouthful, no we're not renaming it, periodt. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

brcmf_fweh_process_event — the girl whose entire job is to process an skb as a firmware event. that's it. that's the gig. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void brcmf_fweh_process_event (struct brcmf_pub *drvr , struct
brcmf_event *event_packet , u32 packet_len , gfp_t gfp );

like, it returns void — nothing back, no little gift, she just does the work. iconic behavior honestly. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • drvr — the driver information object. your main character struct, the one holding all the driver lore fr fr.
  • event_packet — the event packet to process. this is the actual thing she's gonna look at 👀
  • packet_len — length of the packet. she needs to know how much packet she's dealing with, obviously.
  • gfp — memory allocation flags. the whole "how are we allowed to allocate rn" situation 🧚

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — if the packet buffer contains a firmware event message, she dispatches the event to a registered handler (using worker). no cap. that's the whole flow: vibe check the buffer, spot the firmware event, hand it off to whoever registered for it, via a worker. the way that she just knows where things go?? obsessed. 🌈
