π mei_hbm_cl_tx_flow_ctrl_creds_res(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ β yes the header up top is all truncated and mysterious (mei_hbm_cl_...rl_creds_res(9), iykyk, the man page title ran out of room π), but the actual name is right here and it's iconic. Let's get into it.
πΈ NAME πΈ
mei_hbm_cl_tx_flow_ctrl_creds_res β flow control response from me π«Ά
(and yes, "me" here is literal, it's the ME firmware sliding into your replies, no cap)
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void mei_hbm_cl_tx_flow_ctrl_creds_res (struct mei_device *dev , struct
hbm_flow_control *fctrl );
that's the whole vibe: returns void, takes two structs, done. short king behavior π
π ARGUMENTS π
devβ the device structure π» (the main character, the device we're talking about)fctrlβ the flow control response bus message π¨ (the actual message, the flow control response, riding the bus)
both gotta be there. it's giving duo. it's giving partnership. π«Ά
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
the source lives in the kernel file ./drivers/misc/mei/hbm.c β go read it, it's literally right there bestie π

like. that's the whole hbm family reunion and we were invited π§π go click through them, they all ate.
ngl, a void function that takes two args and returns nothing is lowkey the most chill signature in the kernel. no return value drama, no edge cases to stress about β just vibes and a bus message. π
and that's the page!! π source is ./drivers/misc/mei, dated October 2026, and the footer still goes by the dramatic truncated title mei_hbm_cl_...rl_creds_res(9) β love that for us. mwah πβ¨
