🌑️✨ tsens_threshold_violated(9) ✨🌑️

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, we are about to learn how to check if a sensor's temperature just ✨went there✨ and broke a preset threshold. it's giving thermal watchdog energy and honestly? iconic. πŸ’…


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

tsens_threshold_violated β€” check if a sensor temperature violated a preset threshold

like, did the temperature cross a line it was NOT supposed to cross. we're finding out. πŸ‘€πŸ”₯


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int tsens_threshold_violated (struct tsens_priv *priv , u32 hw_id ,
       struct tsens_irq_data *d );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • priv β€” pointer to the tsens controller's private data. it's the controller's whole personality, basically.
  • hw_id β€” the hardware ID, aka the sensor number. iykyk which sensor we're checking 🫢
  • d β€” pointer to the irq state data. this is where the interrupt-state tea lives πŸ“

🌸 RETURN 🌸

  • 0 β€” threshold was NOT violated. everything's chill, no drama, we love that for us ✨
  • 1 β€” threshold WAS violated. it happened. 😭πŸ”₯
  • a negative errno β€” something went wrong along the way. not the vibe. πŸ’€

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go read those too, they're all part of the same tsens friend group πŸ§šπŸ’œ


ngl, always check your return value β€” a negative errno is NOT the same as a 0, bestie. don't let a bad reading gaslight you. πŸ™ˆ
