Subject: [PATCH 7/7] hwmon: (marvel-env) Notify userspace of environmental events
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 12:39:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114-marvel-env-v1-7-890328e4b7e5@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114-marvel-env-v1-0-890328e4b7e5@gmail.com>
The firmware reports each change of a sensor's state as a system event
machine check. On one, reread every node from a workqueue and notify
userspace of the alarms that changed. The notifier runs in machine check
context, so it only queues an irq_work, which queues the work.
