devm_lwmi_ev...ter_notifier(9)

✨ NAME ✨

devm_lwmi_events_register_notifier — bestie, this is the one that adds a notifier to the notifier chain 🎀

Okay so quick vibe check: this is a Kernel API Manual page, section 9, and it's literally about registering a notifier on the lenovo-wmi-events driver. Let's get into it 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int devm_lwmi_events_register_notifier (struct device *dev , struct
notifier_block *nb );

That's the whole handshake, no cap 🫶

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• dev — the parent device of the notifier_block struct. Like, the main character device that this whole thing belongs to 👑
• nb — the actual notifier_block struct you wanna register. This is the thing being signed up ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea 🍓: this function calls lwmi_events_register_notifier to register that notifier block onto the lenovo-wmi-events driver blocking notifier chain. Iconic, honestly.

Then — and this is the devm part that's giving ✨main character energy✨ — it adds unregister_notifier as a device managed action, so the notifier block gets automatically unregistered when its parent device is removed. Not me having to clean up manually... couldn't be me 🙈

Like, automatic cleanup? Obsessed. It's literally doing the work so you don't have to 💖

---

✨ RETURN ✨

0 on success, or an error code 😭 (fingers crossed for the 0 fr fr)
