💅 teo_find_shallower_state(9) 💅

okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — the teo_find_shallower_state page — and it's lowkey one of those tiny helper functions that's just out here doing its thing so the whole idle-state situation doesn't fall apart. periodt.

---

✨ NAME ✨

teo_find_shallower_state — literally goes and finds a shallower idle state that matches the duration you hand it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int teo_find_shallower_state (struct cpuidle_driver *drv , struct cpuidle_device *dev , int state_idx , s64 duration_ns );

like, that's the signature, no cap. returns an int, takes four args, we move. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

here's the friend group — every single one of them matters, so pay attention:

• drv — the cpuidle driver that's holding all the state data. the keeper of the lore. 👑
• dev — the target CPU. yeah, the actual CPU we're talking about. main character energy. 🔥
• state_idx — the index of the capping idle state. that's the ceiling, bestie. 🙈
• duration_ns — the idle duration value to match. the number we're out here tryna vibe-check against. ⭐
