💅 isa_bridge_notify 💅 — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the itty-bitty page for isa_bridge_notify — she's the one who tells you when PCI devices show up or dip out 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

isa_bridge_notify — get notified of PCI devices addition/removal</p> ✨

That's it. That's the whole vibe. You want the tea on a PCI device arriving or leaving? This is your girl. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int isa_bridge_notify (struct notifier_block *nb , unsigned long action
       , void *data );

Return type int, three arguments, no cap. 📝

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

so ngl the manpage is out here giving nothing — every single argument is literally marked -- undescribed -- 😭 and I'm not about to make stuff up, so here's exactly what you get:

  • nb — -- undescribed -- 🙈
  • action — -- undescribed -- 🙈
  • data — -- undescribed -- 🙈
bestie I cannot stress this enough: that's it, that's all the documentation that exists for these three. not me being handed an empty plate 💀 use struct notifier_block *nb, unsigned long action, and void *data and go with the ancestors, iykyk.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the whole squad lives in the kernel file ./arch/powerpc/kernel/isa-bridge.c — go read the source, it's giving main character energy 🌈:

vibe check note: the arguments up top are genuinely marked undescribed in the original — so if you were hoping for extra lore, this page fr fr has none. 🍓

okay that's the whole page, ily, go forth and get notified 💜
