π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int adf_isr_resource_alloc (struct adf_accel_dev *accel_dev );
like, that's the whole signature. iconic. she's short and she knows it β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
accel_devβ a pointer to the acceleration device. that's it. that's the whole argument. she takes exactly one (1) pointer and she's not sorry about it π
π DESCRIPTION π
so what does she even do? the function allocates interrupts for the acceleration device β like, it goes and gets the IRQ situation sorted so your device can actually get attention when it needs it π₯ main character energy fr fr.
you hand her the accel_dev pointer, she handles the interrupt allocation. simple. clean. slay.

0on success β we love a zero, zero means yes, zero is the good number π- an error code otherwise β not zero, so like... something went sideways, bestie π check that code and go fix it

ngl this one's a short page but she's still important β you can't just malloc an IRQ and dip, you have to actually free it later with adf_isr_resource_free(9) π
and that's the page, babes ππ cute little sign-off: this beauty comes from the source file ./drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat... and she's dated October 2026 β go forth and allocate responsibly π¦π
