💅 pm_runtime_put_noidle — the "just drop the counter, bestie" one

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about pm_runtime_put_noidle, which is genuinely one of the chillest little functions in the runtime PM friend group 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pm_runtime_put_noidle — drop the runtime PM usage counter of a device. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void pm_runtime_put_noidle (struct device *dev );

look at her. void return, one argument, absolutely no drama. icon behavior ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dev — the target device. like, the device we're doing this to. literally the only thing you gotta hand her 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕: this function decrements the runtime PM usage counter of dev — unless it's already 0.

that's the whole vibe check. if the counter is chillin' at 0, she does nothing. doesn't go negative, doesn't throw a fit, doesn't cause chaos. just respectfully declines 🙈 like okay boundaries, we love to see it 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
