👑 eeh_phb_pe_create(9) — Kernel API Manual 👑

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is eeh_phb_pe_create 💅 yes it's exactly as iconic as it sounds.

✨ NAME ✨

eeh_phb_pe_create — Create PHB PE 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int eeh_phb_pe_create (struct pci_controller *phb );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • phb — the PCI controller, your main character of the moment 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: you call this function while the PHB is being detected during system boot, or during PCI hotplug, and what it does is create the PHB PE. That's it, that's the whole thing ✨ like it's literally the origin story.

ngl, timing matters — the manpage is clear that this is meant for the boot-time / hotplug detection moment, not just whenever you feel like it 🙈
