✨ adf_isr_resource_alloc ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸ’… this is the adf_isr_resource_alloc(9) page and it's literally the glow-up your acceleration device's interrupt game has been waiting for. buckle up πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

adf_isr_resource_alloc β€” the function that grabs an IRQ for your acceleration device, no cap 🫢


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

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 ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • accel_dev β€” 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 πŸ’…

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

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 πŸ”₯ main character energy fr fr.

you hand her the accel_dev pointer, she handles the interrupt allocation. simple. clean. slay.


⭐ RETURN ⭐

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

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • Kernel file ./drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat_common/adf_isr.c β€” the actual source, go read her, she's right there 🧚
  • adf_isr_resource_free(9) β€” the bestie who undoes all of this. every alloc needs their free, balance, periodt πŸ’œ
  • adf_init_misc_wq(9) β€” another one from the same friend group, go say hi 🌸

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) πŸ™ˆ

and that's the page, babes πŸŽ€πŸ’– cute little sign-off: this beauty comes from the source file ./drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat... and she's dated October 2026 ⭐ go forth and allocate responsibly πŸ¦‹πŸ‘‘
