💅 pci_epc_stop(9) — kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a whole little function that does exactly one (1) thing. lowkey iconic for that. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pci_epc_stop — bestie. it stops the PCI link. that's the whole vibe. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void pci_epc_stop (struct pci_epc *epc );

that's it. no return value, no drama, no notes. it's giving "void and unbothered." 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • epc — the link of the EPC device that has to be stopped. like, hand it the exact EPC device link you want to shut down and it will handle it. no cap. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

invoke this to stop the PCI link. that's literally it. that's the function. it's the "okay we're done here, closing the group chat" of kernel calls. 🧚

fr fr: it stops the PCI link. don't overthink it, bestie — the manpage doesn't say anything else and neither will I, 'cause we don't invent facts in this house. 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file is ./drivers/pci/endpoint/pci-epc-core.c in case you wanna go read the source and feel something. and here's the whole friend group, every single one, no gatekeeping:

shoutout to pci_epc_start(9) btw, the literal opposite of this one — the duality of man 😭

and that's the page, bestie! 🎀 this little gem lives in ./drivers/pci/endpoint, dated October 2026, and it's pci_epc_stop(9) forever and always. go stop a PCI link. slay. 💜🦋✨
