✨ suspend_valid_only_mem(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the suspend_valid_only_mem(9) page 💖 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's honestly a lil baby page but it's so useful, trust.

🌸 NAME 🌸

suspend_valid_only_mem — the generic memory-only valid callback, no cap 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int suspend_valid_only_mem (suspend_state_t state );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • state — the target system sleep state 👑 like, which sleep state you're checking for, bestie.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so picture this: you're a platform driver, right? and you implement mem suspend only — that's your whole thing, that's your main character energy ✨. all you ever need to do in your .valid callback is check for that one thing.

and instead of rolling your own .valid callback (so much effort, so much copy-paste, not the vibe 😭), you can just use this one instead. iconic behaviour, honestly. it does the check for you and you get to go touch grass 🌈
