📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ ufshcd_enable_ee ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — ufshcd_enable_ee(9) — and it's literally just one tiny function that does one very specific thing. short queen behavior, we respect it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ufshcd_enable_ee — enable exception event 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ufshcd_enable_ee (struct ufs_hba *hba , u16 mask );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • hba — the per-adapter instance, aka the one host controller bus adapter we're talking about here 🫶
  • mask — the exception event we wanna enable, bestie. that's the one ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what this does is: it enables the corresponding exception event in the device — like, on the actual device side, not just in your head — so the device is allowed to alert the host when something critical goes down 🔥

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "open the door so the device can yell at you if things go wrong," no cap 💀

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • zero on success 🎉
  • a non-zero error value on failure 😭

like every good well-behaved kernel function. periodt.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the kernel file this whole family lives in: ./drivers/ufs/core/ufshcd.c 🧚

and now the entire friend group — yes, all of them, we are not skipping a single one, i don't do that 🙈

like… that's the whole roster 💀 going through it one by one is a lot, but we did it, and we didn't lose anybody 🫡💖

ngl, this one's short but it matters — exception events are literally how the device tells you something critical happened, so enabling the right one is kinda iconic of it 🔥

that's the whole page, bestie 🎀 this cutie lives in ./drivers/ufs/core and got stamped October 2026 — mwah, love that for us 💜🧚‍♀️
