💅 cpuidle_coupled_set_waiting(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes, that's the manual section, and yes, this page is about one very specific little function that lives in the cpuidle coupled-state universe 🌀. Pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

cpuidle_coupled_set_waiting — mark this cpu as in the wait loop 🎀

Like, it literally just flags "hey, this cpu is waiting now" and that's the whole vibe check 💅.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int cpuidle_coupled_set_waiting (int cpu , struct cpuidle_coupled
*coupled , int next_state );

Copy it exactly, bestie — no cap, it's giving function signature realness 😌.

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • cpu — the target cpu 🎯 (this is the one you're marking, iykyk)
  • coupled — the struct coupled that contains the current cpu 👑
  • next_state — the index in drv->states of the requested state for this cpu 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea ☕: it updates the requested idle state for the specified cpuidle device. That's it, that's the whole thing 💫.

And then — plot twist — it returns the number of waiting cpus 🔢. Literally returns a count, no cap 🙈.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/cpuidle/coupled.c — and like, the whole coupled cpuidle cinematic universe 💀:

okay that's the whole page, bestie — you ate that 🫶. this one came out of ./drivers/cpuidle and it's dated October 2026 ⭐, and we're signing off with the biggest cpuidle_coupled_set_waiting(9) energy ever 💜💅🧚
