intel_runtime_pm_get_raw(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 intel_runtime_pm_get_raw(9) 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual section for intel_runtime_pm_get_raw(9) — yes, the raw runtime PM reference grabber itself. Buckle up, this one's a little spicy 🌶️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_runtime_pm_get_raw — grab a raw runtime pm reference 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

intel_wakeref_t intel_runtime_pm_get_raw (struct intel_runtime_pm *rpm
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • rpm — the intel_runtime_pm structure 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is the unlocked version of intel_display_power_is_enabled, and bestie, it should only be used from error capture and recovery code where deadlocks are possible. Like, that is the whole vibe check here — do not just casually use this in normal code, okay? 😭

This function grabs a device-level runtime pm reference (mostly used for asynchronous PM management from display code) and ensures that it is powered up. Slay, but with caveats ✨

Raw references are not considered during wakelock assert checks. So yeah, they're lowkey invisible to that whole system 👀

🌈 Any runtime pm reference obtained by this function must have a symmetric call to intel_runtime_pm_put_raw to release the reference again. No cap — if you get it, you gotta put it. Periodt. 💀

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns the wakeref cookie to pass to intel_runtime_pm_put_raw. It evaluates as True if the wakeref was acquired, or False otherwise. So basically: truthy = you got it, falsy = you didn't, and either way you're keeping track of that cookie 🍪💖

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

That's the whole page, bestie — you ate that read 💅✨

🎀 Cute little sign-off: this one lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915, dated October 2026, in the Kernel API Manual, and yes, it's still intel_runtime_pm_get_raw(9) — iconic behavior only 👑💖
