wakeup_sources_read_unlock(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 wakeup_sources_read_unlock — like, the UNLOCK half of the wakeup source list saga 🫶

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual, section 9 (wakeup_sources_read_unlock(9) if we're being formal 💅). this is the glowy little counterpart to the lock — the "k we're done here, you can go now" of the wakeup source list. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

wakeup_sources_read_unlock — unlock the wakeup source list. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🔓

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void wakeup_sources_read_unlock (int idx );

it returns void, meaning it literally gives you nothing back, and honestly? iconic of it. it's giving "I did my job, I'm not looking for applause." 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • idx — this is the return value from the corresponding wakeup_sources_read_lock. so like, you hold onto whatever the lock handed you and you pass it right back here. matching set bestie, they're literally a pair. 🔐➡️🔓
⚠️ real talk: idx is specifically the value that came back from wakeup_sources_read_lock. don't get cute and invent your own number, that's not the assignment.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the whole friend group, in order, no one left out (i would never 🙈):

also, for the record, the kernel file it lives in is ./drivers/base/power/wakeup.c — that's the address, that's the whole committee meeting spot. 🏠

and that's the page!! stay hydrated, unlock your locks, and remember: your idx came from the lock, so give it back nicely. 💖

compiled with love from ./drivers/base/power, October 2026 edition — mwah, see u in the next manpage bestie 🧚✨
