💖 device_unblock_probing 💖

okay so real talk, bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's honestly the shortest little icon in the whole driver-core friend group. but don't let the tiny page fool you — it's got main character energy in the deferred-probe saga 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

device_unblock_probing — unblock / enable a device's probes 🫶

like, it's the un-pause button. the "you may now resume your regularly scheduled probing" announcement. periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void device_unblock_probing (void );

no return value, no params, no drama. it just does the thing and dips. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• void — literally no arguments, bestie. nada. zero. the function said "I work alone" and honestly? iconic.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea ☕ — calling this will restore normal behavior and trigger re-probing of deferred devices. that's it. that's the whole vibe.

think of it like: some devices got told "not right now, we're busy" (that's the blocked state, iykyk), and this function is you walking back in like "okay besties, we're SO back" and letting all those deferred devices finally get their probe on. 🔥✨

lowkey important: this is the counterpart to blocking. if you blocked, you gotta unblock, fr fr. don't leave your devices hanging in deferred-probe limbo 😭
