dpm_complete(9)

💖 dpm_complete — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

okay so like, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9, we love a man-page moment), and today's main character is dpm_complete. she's short, she's sweet, she's lowkey doing a lot of work behind the scenes. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dpm_complete — Complete a PM transition for all non-sysdev devices.

like, all of them. every single non-sysdev device. she's thorough, she's that girl 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void dpm_complete (pm_message_t state );

yup that's the whole thing. void return, one argument, no notes. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• state — PM transition of the system being carried out. that's the vibe of the whole power-management moment you're in rn, she needs to know which one, k? 🫶

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea: dpm_complete executes the ->complete callbacks for all devices whose PM status is not DPM_ON.

and why does that matter, you ask? because doing it this way (only the ones not already DPM_ON) allows new devices to be registered while this is happening. so the system can grow mid-transition. slay, honestly ✨

💀 no cap, that parenthetical is load-bearing — it's the whole reason for the status check. don't skip it.
