💅 freq_qos_remove_request 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for freq_qos_remove_request(9) — yes that (9) means it's a kernel-internal function, we're in the deep end of the pool now and honestly? iconic. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

freq_qos_remove_request — literally removes a frequency QoS request from its list. that's the whole gig. clean, simple, effective. periodt. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int freq_qos_remove_request (struct freq_qos_request *req );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • req — the request you wanna remove. that one. the request in question. say bye 👋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: this function takes the given frequency QoS request and pulls it out of the list of constraints it belongs to. then — and this is the important part, ngl — it recomputes the effective constraint value for that list. like, recalculating the vibe check for the whole group after one member leaves. 🔥

and what does it return? glad you asked:

  • 1 — the effective constraint value has changed. something moved. slay. ✨
  • 0 — the effective constraint value has not changed. no notes, nothing shifted. 💀
  • a negative error code — on failures. it's giving "it didn't work and it's telling you why". 😭
no cap, those are the only three flavours of return value. don't go inventing new ones.
