💅 mei_hbm_cl_connect_res(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little function that lives in the HBM corner of the MEI world. she's a response handler, she's a state updater, she's doing her thing 💖

✨ NAME ✨

mei_hbm_cl_connect_res — update the client state according to the connection response 🫶

like, literally, that's the whole job: a connection response comes in, and this function makes the client's state match what the response says. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void mei_hbm_cl_connect_res (struct mei_device *dev , struct mei_cl *cl
, struct mei_hbm_cl_cmd *cmd );

she returns nothing (void), she just does things. main character energy honestly 😭

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • dev — the device structure. the whole device vibe check, one struct 💜
  • cl — the mei host client. this is the client we're updating, hi bestie 👋
  • cmd — the connect client response host bus message. the actual message that came in off the host bus telling us what's up 🦋

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./drivers/misc/mei/hbm.c — that's where the source lives, ikyk 👑

and then the whole friend group, aka every single function she's linked to (yes, all of them, i'm not skipping one, that would be rude):

and that's the whole page, periodt 💅 mwah, go read hbm.c if you want the juicy details.
