ps3_sys_man...al_power_off(9)

✨ NAME ✨

ps3_sys_manager_final_power_off — the final platform machine_power_off routine, bestie. like, the last one. the finale. no cap 💅

(this whole page lives in the Kernel API Manual, btw 🫶)

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void ps3_sys_manager_final_power_off (struct ps3_system_bus_device *dev
);

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — okay so this is so real of the docs: it's literally marked -- undescribed -- 😭 that's it. that's the whole description. iconic honestly.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here's the tea, bestie: this routine never returns. ever. it does not come back. it's giving "I'm not leaving, I live here now" 💀

What it actually does: it disables asynchronous vuart reads, then it just spins, calling ps3_sys_manager_handle_msg over and over to receive and acknowledge the shutdown command that the system manager sends over. and like — soon after that acknowledgement gets sent, the lpar is destroyed by the HV. gone. poof. ✨

lowkey important: this routine should only ever be called from ps3_power_off, through ps3_sys_manager_ops.power_off. that's the only door in. don't get creative 💖
