mei_cl_notify(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 mei_cl_notify — raise notification 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for mei_cl_notify(9), and yes we're doing this properly, no skimming, no cap. This is the whole thing, top to bottom, and it's honestly not that deep — but it is important, so lock in. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mei_cl_notify — raise notification. that's it, that's the whole job. she raises, she notifies, she leaves. iconic behaviour honestly 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void mei_cl_notify (struct mei_cl *cl );

one line, one call, no return value because she doesn't do follow-ups 💅

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • cl — the host client. literally just the client struct you're pointing at, bestie. that's who gets notified. 🫶

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea: the locking is the whole story here.

Locking: this is called under the "dev->device_lock" lock. 🔒

like, that's the entire description. no extra lore, no hidden chapters. you call mei_cl_notify while you're already holding "dev->device_lock" — that's the vibe, and the vibe check is real, so don't go re-acquiring anything or you will have a bad time 😭

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay so this is the part where the page just absolutely goes off. there's a whole squad of friends, and we are listing every single one, in order, no skips, because that's what we do here. 🌈

kernel file: ./drivers/misc/mei/client.c

see? all of them. every last one. we ate and left no crumbs 🍓

and that's the page, bestie!! 💖 this little gem lives in ./drivers/misc/mei and it's dated October 2026, and the whole thing signs off as mei_cl_notify(9) — go forth, hold that "dev->device_lock", and raise those notifications responsibly. mwah 🫶💅✨
