💅 ata_sff_pause(9) — the Kernel API Manual edition, bestie

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly? It's a little one but she's doing a lot. Her whole personality is "flush the writes, then literally just vibe for 400 nanoseconds." No cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ata_sff_pause — flush writes and wait 400nS

Like, that's it. That's the whole job. She flushes, she waits, she slays. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ata_sff_pause (struct ata_port *ap );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • ap — the port you're pausing for, bestie. That's the one. That's the port. Give her a little nap. 😴

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

⚠️ CAUTION: if we've got an mmio device with no ctl and no altstatus method, this will fail. And before you spiral — no such devices are known to exist. So like... breathe. 🫶 We're fine. Probably. 💀

LOCKING: inherited from the caller. So whatever lock energy you walked in with? That's the lock energy you're keeping. She does not bring her own. She is borrowing yours, iykyk. 👑

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

Like I said. The whole squad. 💜

🎀 the cute sign-off 🎀

This little icon came from ./drivers/ata, dated October 2026, and her name is ata_sff_pause(9) — 400 nanoseconds of pure main character energy. Go flush those writes, bestie. Periodt. 💅✨
