πŸ’… cros_ec_irq_thread(9) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is cros_ec_irq_thread(9) β€” literally the bottom-half legend of interrupt handling. this is the page you want, i promise. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

cros_ec_irq_thread β€” the bottom half part of the interrupt handler 🫢 she's the second act, the encore, the part that does the actual work after the fast handler has done its little sprint.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

irqreturn_t cros_ec_irq_thread (int irq , void *data );

that's the whole signature, no cap. two args, one return type, very demure, very mindful. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • irq β€” the IRQ id. literally just the interrupt's little ID number, its whole identity fr fr. πŸͺͺ
  • data β€” the (ec_dev) device that's got events to process. this is where the actual event-having happens. πŸ“¬

πŸ’– RETURN πŸ’–

Interrupt handled. β€” that's it, that's the whole return story. she handled the interrupt, she said what she said, periodt. πŸ‘‘

bestie you are NOT ready for this reading list, it's giving syllabus for a class you're obsessed with. also important: the kernel file lives at ./drivers/platform/chrome/cros_ec.c and you should absolutely go look at it. πŸ‘€

like the suspend/resume set alone is a whole friend group, love that for them. 🌈


ngl there's genuinely no scary warning here, this page is just a sweet little function description. go read your interrupt docs and hydrate. πŸ“

and that's a wrap!! huge shoutout to the source ./drivers/platform/chrome and the version/date October 2026 β€” and yes, we're closing out as cros_ec_irq_thread(9) exactly like we opened. mwah. πŸ’œβœ¨πŸ§š
