devfreq_monitor_suspend(9)

✨ devfreq_monitor_suspend — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

Okay bestie, so this whole page is literally from the Kernel API Manual and it's about one tiny but iconic function. Let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

devfreq_monitor_suspend — literally just pauses the load monitoring of a devfreq instance. That's it. That's the vibe. 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void devfreq_monitor_suspend (struct devfreq *devfreq );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• devfreq — the devfreq instance, bestie. The actual one. The main character. 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this is a helper function that suspends devfreq device load monitoring. Think of it like hitting pause on the whole monitoring situation. ⏸️✨

It's the function you call from the governor when you get a DEVFREQ_GOV_SUSPEND event, or when the polling interval is set to zero. So if the governor is like "okay we're done here for now," this is the function that actually makes it happen. No cap. 🫶

---

🌟 NOTE 🌟

Okay so this part is important — even though this function is literally the same as devfreq_monitor_stop, they intentionally kept it separate so it can provide hooks for collecting transition statistics. So like, yes it's identical in behavior but NO it's not redundant, it's on purpose. Respect the design choices. 💀🙈

And that's the whole page, bestie! This masterpiece lives in ./drivers/devfreq and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, it's from the future AND the past at the same time, very main character energy. The whole thing is about devfreq_monitor_suspend(9) and now you know everything about it. Slay. 💅✨🎀
