💅 pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled(9). yes that's the whole entire name, it's giving long-distance-relationship-with-a-hyphen energy, don't @ me. (the page header squishes it to pcie_relaxe...ring_enabled(9) but that's just the terminal being dramatic and running out of room 🎀)

---

✨ NAME ✨

pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled — literally just probing to see if PCIe relaxed ordering is enabled, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool pcie_relaxed_ordering_enabled (struct pci_dev *dev );

it returns a bool, she takes one pointer, she minds her own business. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the PCI device you're querying, like "hey bestie what's ur status" 💖

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so basically this function returns true if the device has enabled the relaxed ordering attribute. that's the whole plot. no twists, no cliffhanger, just a sweet little yes-or-no, and honestly we respect the transparency 🫶✨

ngl if you're out here expecting extra lore, there isn't any — the manpage said what it said, periodt 💅
