💫 dm_path_uevent(9) 💫

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel kernel, we're doing big-girl stuff today 🎀 this one's about dm_path_uevent, and it's literally the lil messenger that makes a new path event and queues it up. no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

dm_path_uevent — called to create a new path event and queue it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void dm_path_uevent (enum dm_uevent_type event_type , struct dm_target
*ti , const char *path , unsigned int nr_valid_paths );

so it returns void (nothing back, she's not a gossip 💀) and it takes four args. let's meet them 👑

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• event_type — the path event type enum, like, which kind of event are we throwing 🎉
• ti — pointer to a dm_target, iconic, we love a pointer
• path — string containing pathname, the actual path bestie 🛣️
• nr_valid_paths — number of valid paths remaining, keep count, main character energy ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Kernel file ./drivers/md/dm-uevent.c
• dm_send_uevents(9)

ngl, if you're here you probably want dm_send_uevents(9) too — go read it, iykyk 💜

and that's the whole vibe check, bestie 🧚 this cutie came from ./drivers/md, version dm_path_uevent(9), dated October 2026 — periodt. 💖🌈⭐
