ssh_ptl_shou...rupt_rx_data(9)

✨ NAME ✨

ssh_ptl_should_corrupt_rx_data — the error-injection hook that lets you fake invalid data coming from the EC 💅 (this is the Kernel API Manual, bestie — kernel-internals territory, come on in 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ssh_ptl_should_corrupt_rx_data (void );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments, queen. nothing goes in, that's the whole vibe. zero inputs, periodt. ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so listen 👑 — this is a hook. that's it, that's the function. its whole job is to let you simulate invalid data or a bad checksum on the message frame, so you can test how the driver handles it when things go sideways 😭

it's giving "chaos monkey but make it a kernel function" 🐒💀 — you flip this on, the frame comes in cursed, and you get to watch the driver's error handling do its thing. extremely useful, lowkey iconic, fr fr 🌈

no cap: this is an error injection hook — it's for testing, not for normal everyday operation. don't leave it on and then act surprised 🙈
