ishtp_recv(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, meet ishtp_recv(9) from the Kernel API Manual — her whole thing is to process ishtp message. no cap, that’s the name and the game. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ishtp_recv (struct ishtp_device *dev );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• dev — the ishtp device. that’s the argument, and she is literally carrying the whole call. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here’s the tea, bestie: if a message rolls in with a valid header and size, then this function calls the appropriate handler. periodt. 🦋

the address is the vibe check: if the host or firmware address is zero, then those are host bus management messages; otherwise they’re messages for clients. iykyk. 🌸
