ath5k_hw_set_imr(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to ath5k_hw_set_imr(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 the function is ath5k_hw_set_imr, and the NAME section is literally: Set interrupt mask. That’s the whole assignment, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum ath5k_int ath5k_hw_set_imr (struct ath5k_hw *ah , enum ath5k_int
       new_mask );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ah — the struct ath5k_hw. That’s the hardware struct, bestie, the main character of this function.
• new_mask — the new interrupt mask to be set. Fresh mask, who dis? 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this one sets the interrupt mask in hw to save interrupts. The way we do it is very demure: map the ath5k_int bits to hw-specific bits to remove abstraction, then write the Interrupt Mask Register. That’s the whole glow-up, no cap. ✨
