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

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and you've got this little function called pci_hp_unignore_link_change ✨ it's the partner-in-crime function, the "and we're back" moment. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

pci_hp_unignore_link_change — wrap up the code section that was causing those spurious link changes 🦋 (yes, "spurious," she's dramatic but she's right)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pci_hp_unignore_link_change (struct pci_dev *pdev );

like, that's the whole signature. void return, one arg, she's lowkey simple 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — the PCI hotplug bridge 🏗️ that's your main character right there, the one everything's happening around

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: this function marks the end of a code section that's been causing spurious link changes on the Secondary Bus of pdev. Basically you were in "ignore mode," and now you're closing that chapter 📖✨

💀 Important, no cap: this one must be paired with pci_hp_ignore_link_change. They're a set. You don't open with one and leave the other hanging — that's not the vibe, and the kernel will not be slaying about it. Periodt.

So the flow is: pci_hp_ignore_link_change opens it, pci_hp_unignore_link_change closes it, and everything in between is your spurious-link-change safe zone 🧚🦋
