intel_psr_pause(9)

💅 intel_psr_pause(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, that manual, the one we actually read) and today's main character is intel_psr_pause — literally the pause button for PSR. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

intel_psr_pause — Pause PSR 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void intel_psr_pause (struct intel_dp *intel_dp );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one return type, one function, one argument. simple. iconic. no cap 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• intel_dp — Intel DP. that's the one you're handing over, bestie. Intel DP. that's the whole description, she's a woman of few words and honestly? respect 😌

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea: this function needs to be called after enabling psr. like, that's the requirement. that's the order of operations. pause comes after the enable, not before, not during, not "ehh I'll do it later." after. periodt 💀

think of it as the intermission of the PSR show — but only once the show has actually started 🎬✨
