πŸ’… shpchp_is_native(9) β€” a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, this little page is all about shpchp_is_native(9), and honestly it's a short one but it matters. stay with me 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

shpchp_is_native β€” check whether a hotplug port is handled by the OS πŸ’…

Like, literally: is the OS the one running this port, or not? that's the whole vibe check.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool shpchp_is_native (struct pci_dev *bridge );

that's it. one function, one argument, returns a bool. iconic, no notes πŸ”₯


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • bridge β€” the hotplug port you wanna check. yes, just the one. give it a struct pci_dev * and let it cook ✨

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so here's the tea β˜• β€” this function returns true if the given bridge is handled by the native SHPC hotplug driver.

that's the whole thing. true means native SHPC hotplug driver has it, periodt πŸ‘‘

ngl it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility" and we love that for it πŸ’–


πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/pci/pci-acpi.c β€” and while you're in the neighborhood, go say hi to the whole friend group 😭🫢
