πŸ’Ύ pwrdm_save_context(9) πŸ’Ύ

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸ’– you pulled up pwrdm_save_context(9), and we're gonna get you comfy with it. This is the little helper whose whole personality is: save powerdomain registers. Let's go ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

pwrdm_save_context β€” save powerdomain registers

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int pwrdm_save_context (struct powerdomain *pwrdm , void *unused );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • pwrdm β€” so the original manpage literally gives this one -- undescribed --, bestie 😭. In the synopsis it's struct powerdomain *pwrdm. That's the whole description we've got, no cap.
  • unused β€” same situation: the manpage says -- undescribed -- for this too πŸ™ˆ. In the synopsis it's void *unused.

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

okay so here's the plot: register state is going to be lost due to a suspend or hibernate event 😭 that's the crisis. pwrdm_save_context is the main character that saves the powerdomain registers πŸ’Ύβœ¨. That's the assignment. It's giving "back it up before the nap" energy, and honestly? Iconic.

highkey important: the original says the register state is going to be lost due to a suspend or hibernate event, and the function saves the powerdomain registers. That's the whole deal πŸ’–.
