💅 ishtp_cl_flush_queues — bestie, we're clearing the queues

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's a little one, but it's iconic. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ishtp_cl_flush_queues — flush all queues for a client, fr fr 🌸

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ishtp_cl_flush_queues (struct ishtp_cl *cl );

That's it. One function, one argument, zero drama. ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • cl — the ishtp client instance. like, the actual client we're about to clean up 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So what does it do? It's used to remove all queues for a client. That's the whole vibe.

When does it get called, you ask? Bestie, it shows up in some very specific moments:

  • when a client device needs a reset because of an error 😭
  • on S3 resume 🌈
  • during module removal 🧚

So basically it's the "okay we're done here, clear the queues" moment. Not me being obsessed with a cleanup function but here we are 💖

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success — slay ✅
  • -EINVAL if the device is NULL — yeah that's the error case, no cap 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file: ./drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp/client.c

And the whole friend group of related calls — all of them, in order, no skipping:

iykyk, that's a lot of siblings 💜

🫶 quick vibe check: it returns 0 on success, and -EINVAL if the device is NULL. that's the whole return contract, don't @ me.

and that's the page!! this one lives under ./drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp, dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual — mwah, sending you off with a little kiss from the kernel 💋🎀🦋
