mei_me_pg_state(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mei_me_pg_state — kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this page is mei_me_pg_state(9), and it lives in the Kernel API Manual section — yes, section 9, the ~deep lore~ one. It's a tiny little function with one job, and honestly? It ate. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mei_me_pg_state — it translates the internal pg state into the mei power gating state. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum mei_pg_state mei_me_pg_state (struct mei_device *dev );

literally one argument, no cap. 💅

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • dev — the mei device. that's the whole thing. just hand it the device, diva. 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it gives you MEI_PG_OFF if aliveness is on, and MEI_PG_ON otherwise. yep, that's genuinely the rule — read it twice if you need to, i had to too 😭

no cap: those are the only two outcomes listed. nothing else. don't go inventing a third one, bestie 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay so this is the part where the manpage just. lists. everyone. the whole friend group. it's giving group chat with 58 members and every single one is a (9) page 💖

it also points you at the kernel file ./drivers/misc/mei/hw-me.c 🐛

and yes, me_intr_disable(9) and mei_me_intr_disable(9) are both in there — different names, bestie, look closer 👀💅

k bye, this page comes from the source/version dir ./drivers/misc/mei, dated October 2026 — mwah, slay, periodt 🫶✨🎀
