tb_cfg_request_get(9)

💅 tb_cfg_request_get — Kernel API Manual ✨

Okay bestie, listen up, because this one is short but it matters. This is tb_cfg_request_get, straight out of the kernel API manual, and yeah — it's a one-liner function, but it's carrying the whole refcount economy on its back. 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

tb_cfg_request_get — increase the refcount of a request. That's it. That's the whole job. She's an icon, she's a legend, she does one thing and she does it flawlessly. ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void tb_cfg_request_get (struct tb_cfg_request *req);

Notice the void?? Nothing comes back. No return value. No exit status. She just does the thing and leaves. main character energy, honestly. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• req — the request whose refcount gets increased. That's the one. Hand her the request, she bumps the count, everyone goes home happy. 🫶

Ngl, that's the only argument. One param. Zero drama. Refcount goes up, no cap. 🔥

• struct tb_ctl(9) — the struct everything orbits around 🪐
• tb_cfg_request_alloc(9) — where requests are born 👶
• tb_cfg_request_put(9) — the opposite of this page, she decreases the refcount, they're literally yin and yang 💜
• tb_cfg_request(9)
• tb_cfg_request_cancel(9) — for when you gotta call it off 🙈
• tb_cfg_request_sync(9)
• tb_ctl_alloc(9)
• tb_ctl_free(9)
• tb_ctl_start(9)
• tb_ctl_stop(9)

• tb_cfg_reset(9) — fresh start, we love a reset
• tb_cfg_read_raw(9)
• tb_cfg_write_raw(9)
• tb_cfg_get_upstream_port(9)

Like, go read them. It's giving "required reading for the Thunderbolt girlies." 📚✨

💀 Real talk though: if you're calling this, make sure you know who's holding what — refcounts are serious business even when the manpage is one sentence long.

That's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓 — brought to you by the kernel docs living in ./drivers/thunderbolt, dated October 2026, in the Kernel API Manual. Mwah. 💖
