ladder_select_state(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to ladder_select_state(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it's the function whose whole job is to select the next state to enter. that's the name, that's the vibe: ladder_select_state — selects the next state to enter. slay. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the exact signature, no remix, no edits — type it exactly like this:

int ladder_select_state (struct cpuidle_driver *drv , struct
       cpuidle_device *dev , bool *dummy );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• drv — the cpuidle driver. that's the whole note for this one, bestie.
• dev — the CPU. yes, the CPU is the main character here. 👑
• dummy — not used. literally not used, periodt. don't go looking for hidden behavior. 🫶

the return type in the synopsis is int, and since this page doesn't have a separate RETURN section, that's all the tea we have. no invented lore, no cap. 😭
