ssh_ptl_tx_wakeup_packet(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ssh_ptl_tx_wakeup_packet(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — section 9 ofc, this is the ssh_ptl_tx_wakeup_packet page and yes we're gonna read the whole thing together, no skimming 🙈

✨ NAME ✨

ssh_ptl_tx_wakeup_packet — literally just "wake up the packet transmitter thread because there's a new packet," that's the whole vibe 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ssh_ptl_tx_wakeup_packet (struct ssh_ptl *ptl );

that's it. one function. returns void. no drama, no return value, we love a low-maintenance icon 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ptl — the packet transport layer 💖 (yes that's the whole description, she's a simple girl)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it do, you ask? it wakes up the packet transmitter thread 🫡 and by that we mean it notifies that thread that a new packet has arrived and is ready for transfer. the transmitter thread is basically sitting there like "do I have anything to do…" and this function is the friend that goes "BABE. there's a packet. go." ✨

and here's the important caveat, pay attention bestie:

if the packet transport layer has been shut down, calls to this function will be ignored. 💀 no error, no nothing, just vibes and silence. so don't be out here expecting it to do anything after shutdown, iykyk.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this list is long, but we're doing all of it, no cap. the kernel file first:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/platform/surface/aggregator/ssh_packet_layer.c

and the whole friend group:

like, an entire roster. go read them all, they're iconic 💜

and that's the page!! source file path got a lil truncated down there as ./drivers/platform/surface/agg..., dated October 2026, and yeah — it's the ssh_ptl_tx_wakeup_packet(9) page, we're done, mwah 🎀💖✨
