scmi_protocols_late_init(9)

💖 NAME 💖

hey bestie, welcome to scmi_protocols_late_init(9) from the Kernel API Manual! this page is your lowkey guide to the worker for late initialization, and honestly it's giving main character cleanup energy. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void scmi_protocols_late_init (struct work_struct *work );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• work — the work item to use associated to the proper SCMI instance. that's the whole argument, bestie, no cap. 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so picture this: a new protocol just completed its own registration via scmi_register_protocol_events, and this worker kicks in. it is in charge of scanning the table of pending handlers — yes, the ones registered by users while the related protocol was still not initialized — and finalizing their initialization whenever possible. invalid pending handlers are purged at this point in time. periodt. 🧹✨

it's giving late-init finisher, it's giving table-scanning icon, and it's literally here to wrap things up when they can be wrapped up. no extra lore, just the vibes above. 🦋
