ps3_stop_probe_thread(9)

💅 ps3_stop_probe_thread(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ and honestly? today's main character is ps3_stop_probe_thread, a little function with one (1) job and zero chill about it. It stops the background probe thread. That's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ps3_stop_probe_thread — literally just stops the background probe thread. no cap. 🛑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ps3_stop_probe_thread (struct notifier_block *nb , unsigned long
code , void *data );

that's the whole signature, bestie, copy it exactly, don't @ me 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

okay so the args section is giving mystery today, because the docs genuinely have nothing for us here. Not me making stuff up to fill the silence — these are straight up marked undescribed, and I'm respectfully not going to invent lore 🙈

• nb — -- undescribed -- 🫥 the docs said "next question"
• code — -- undescribed -- 😭 not a crumb of info to be found
• data — -- undescribed -- 💀 same energy, we know nothing

bestie pls don't guess at what these do — the manual page honest-to-god leaves all three undescribed, and I'm not about to fabricate kernel lore. if you find out, tell me first 💖
