✨ pm_runtime_suspended(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is a lil function from the <linux/pm_runtime.h> cinematic universe and honestly? she's giving "quick vibe check, don't trust me outside the group chat" energy. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

pm_runtime_suspended — literally just checks whether or not a device is runtime-suspended 🦋

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

bool pm_runtime_suspended (struct device *dev );

💫 ARGUMENTS 💫

  • dev — the target device, aka the main character of this little story 👑

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so basically: this returns true if runtime PM is enabled for dev and its runtime PM status is RPM_SUSPENDED. any other situation? false, periodt. 💅

⚠️ okay this part is important, no cap: the return value of this function can only be trusted if it's called under the runtime PM lock of dev, or under conditions in which runtime PM cannot be either disabled or enabled for dev and its runtime PM status cannot change. like, she's not lying to you, she just only knows what she knew at that exact moment 😭 so if the status could be shifting under your feet, bestie, don't come crying to her about it.

the whole squad shows up for this one, so let's give them their shoutouts 🫶 the kernel file ./include/linux/pm_runtime.h and:
