libnvme(2)

💖 NAME 💖

enum nvme_cmbmsc — bestie this is the field that tells you the controller memory buffer memory space control. yes it's a whole mouthful, we're getting through it together 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum nvme_cmbmsc {
    NVME_CMBMSC_CRE_SHIFT ,
    NVME_CMBMSC_CMSE_SHIFT ,
    NVME_CMBMSC_CBA_SHIFT ,
    NVME_CMBMSC_CRE_MASK ,
    NVME_CMBMSC_CMSE_MASK

};

okay so it's an enum, it's giving very "five little constants that hold the whole thing together" energy 💅 no cap.

🎀 Constants 🎀

• NVME_CMBMSC_CRE_SHIFT — the shift amount you use to get the capabilities registers enabled. that's the CRE part, she's a shifter 💫
• NVME_CMBMSC_CMSE_SHIFT — the shift amount to get the controller memory space enable. literally the CMSE shift, iconic, no notes 🦋
• NVME_CMBMSC_CBA_SHIFT — the shift amount to get the controller base address. CBA = controller base address, she's the address girlie ✨
• NVME_CMBMSC_CRE_MASK — the mask to get the capabilities registers enabled. same CRE, but now she masks instead of shifts, periodt 🎀
• NVME_CMBMSC_CMSE_MASK — the mask to get the controller memory space enable. CMSE but masked this time, we love a consistent queen 👑

lowkey the pattern here is shift vs mask for the same two things: capabilities registers enabled and controller memory space enable, plus one lone base-address shift. that's the whole vibe check, iykyk 🔥

that's the tea, bestie — slay, go shift something 💜
