💅 mei_irq_read_handler(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's mei_irq_read_handler(9) and it's literally the bottom half read routine that runs after the ISR to handle the read processing. yes, the sequel. the afterparty. the "my work here is done but actually wait" of interrupt handling. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

mei_irq_read_handler — bottom half read routine after ISR to handle the read processing.

like, ISR does its little top-half thing and then hands the baton to this function to actually deal with the reading. main character energy, honestly. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int mei_irq_read_handler (struct mei_device *dev , struct list_head
*cmpl_list , s32 *slots );

three params, one int return, no cap. 💜

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the device structure. the whole entire vibe of the device lives here.
• cmpl_list — An instance of our list structure. yes, our list structure. it's giving shared custody. 🎀
• slots — slots to read. that's it, that's the whole description. she's succinct. 💅
