🎀 device_pm_move_to_tail(9) — everybody to the tail, no cap 💅

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for device_pm_move_to_tail(9), and it is literally about moving a whole device crew to the end of the device lists. it’s giving “line up, we’re going to the back” energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

device_pm_move_to_tail — move a set of devices to the end of the device lists 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void device_pm_move_to_tail (struct device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the device you want to move, bestie. that’s the main character here. 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

This is a device_reorder_to_tail wrapper, and it takes the requisite locks. iconic behavior, honestly. 🔥

It moves dev along with all of its children and all of its consumers to the ends of the device_kset and dpm_list, recursively. so yes, the whole little device family plus its consumer entourage gets swept to the back. periodt. 💅
