📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NCR5380_transfer_pio 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for NCR5380_transfer_pio — yes that's her full name and yes she's the main character of this file 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

NCR5380_transfer_pio — she transfers data in whatever phase you tell her, using polled I/O 👑 no cap, that's literally the whole job.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void NCR5380_transfer_pio (struct Scsi_Host *instance , unsigned char
*phase , int *count , unsigned char **data , unsigned int can_sleep );

it's giving "void function, five args, zero notes" 😭 copy it exactly, bestie, don't you dare retype it from memory 💀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • instance — the instance of the driver 🫶 like, which driver are we even talking to, that one.
  • phase — a pointer to what phase is expected ✨ she's pointing at the vibe we're expecting, okay?
  • count — a pointer to the number of bytes to transfer 🌸 so we know how much data we're moving.
  • data — a pointer to a data pointer 🎀 yes, a double pointer, she's fancy like that, deal with it.
  • can_sleep — 1 or 0 when sleeping is permitted or not, respectively 💤 so 1 = nap time allowed, 0 = no napping on the job 😤

💜 RETURN 💜

void. that's it, that's the return. but listen — *phase, *count, and *data are all modified in place 👀 so the pointers you passed in get their contents rewritten, fr fr don't be surprised when they come back different, that's the whole point 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

ngl the whole squad lives in ./drivers/scsi and they're all lowkey iconic together, go read them, iykyk 🔥

k bye bestie, this page ships from ./drivers/scsi and it's dated October 2026 — slay, stay polled, and don't forget to sleep when can_sleep says you can 💖🧚⭐
