okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual era of your life 🌸 this is the page for irq_chip_ack_parent, and yes it's a real one, and yes it slays.

✨ NAME ✨

irq_chip_ack_parent — the function that acknowledges the parent interrupt 🫶 like literally it just goes "hey parent, i see you, noted, you're acknowledged" and honestly? iconic behavior.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • data — a pointer to the interrupt-specific data. like, the lil data bundle for this particular interrupt. you pass it in, the function knows what to do with it. main character parameter energy 👑
