💖 dev_pm_set_dedicated_wake_irq — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about dev_pm_set_dedicated_wake_irq(9). yes that's a mouthful, no we're not changing it, it's iconic 💅

✨ NAME ✨

dev_pm_set_dedicated_wake_irq — Request a dedicated wake-up interrupt 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int dev_pm_set_dedicated_wake_irq (struct device *dev , int irq );

like, that's the whole signature, slay ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — Device entry. literally the device you're doing this for 💖
  • irq — Device wake-up interrupt. the actual interrupt number, no cap 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so real talk: unless your hardware has separate wake-up interrupts in addition to the device IO interrupts, you don't need this. like, at all. go touch grass, your hardware is fine 🙈

but if you do need it — this sets up a threaded interrupt handler for a device that has a dedicated wake-up interrupt in addition to the device IO interrupt. two different interrupts, two different jobs, main character energy for both 👑
