💅 artop6210_load_piomode — kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

Okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is artop6210_load_piomode(9). Buckle up, this one's short but she SERVES. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

artop6210_load_piomode — literally just loads a set of PATA PIO timings. no cap, that's the whole gig. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void artop6210_load_piomode (struct ata_port *ap , struct ata_device
*adev , unsigned int pio );

Like, three args, void return, she's lowkey chill. 🫶

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• ap — the port whose timings we're configuring. this is the main character we're doing all this for 👑
• adev — the device. the device!! 🎀
• pio — the PIO mode. yeah. that one. 💫

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what she actually does: sets the PIO mode for the device, in host controller PCI config space. That's the vibe. 🧚

And here's the tea — this isn't only for PIO mode, okay?? It's used both to set PIO timings in PIO mode and to set the matching PIO clocking for UDMA, plus the MWDMA timings. She's versatile. She contains multitudes. 🔥

LOCKING: None — and that's inherited from caller, so it's not her fault, don't come for her 🙈

mwah 💋 that's the page! brought to you by the folks over in ./drivers/ata, dated October 2026, and yes the header still says artop6210_load_piomode(9) three times because that's just how manpages roll. slay. 🌸✨
