πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… pvr_dump_co...notification(9) β€” it's the Kernel API Manual bestie, section 9, we're so back

okay so real talk, this one's a little kernel helper from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” yes the name is literally abbreviated with dots like that, pvr_dump_co...notification(9), she's mysterious, she's shy, she's giving truncated-file-name energy, we love her anyway πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

pvr_dump_context_reset_notification β€” literally handles the context reset notification coming from FW. that's it, that's the job, and she does it πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void pvr_dump_context_reset_notification (struct pvr_device *pvr_dev ,
       struct rogue_fwif_fwccb_cmd_context_reset_data *data );

like, void return, two args, no drama. copy it exactly bestie, character for character, don't you dare "fix" the spacing πŸ™ˆ


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • pvr_dev β€” the device pointer. your main character device, right there 🫢
  • data β€” the data FW handed over. yes FW gave us a whole struct, we're gonna look at it πŸ”₯

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

okay so what actually happens: this function decodes the data structure that FW provided, and then prints the results out via drm_info. that's the whole vibe β€” decode, print, done. not me being obsessed with a two-step function 😭

ngl if you were hoping for lore, there is none. FW sends data, we decode it, drm_info says it out loud. iconic behaviour, no notes ✨
