✨ ath5k_hw_stop_tx_dma(9) ✨

okay so bestie, this is a Kernel API Manual page and it's literally all about putting one specific transmit queue to bed 😴💅 — no pending frames allowed, periodt.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ath5k_hw_stop_tx_dma — Stop DMA transmit on a specific queue 🛑📤

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ath5k_hw_stop_tx_dma (struct ath5k_hw *ah , unsigned int queue );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ah — The struct ath5k_hw 👑 this is the hardware struct, the main character fr.
• queue — The hw queue number 🧺 like, which hardware queue are we stopping?

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Stop DMA transmit on a specific hw queue and drain queue so we don't have any pending frames. 🚫📨✨

Returns -EBUSY if we still have pending frames 😭 — like bestie, the queue is not empty yet. Returns -EINVAL if queue number is out of range or inactive 🙈 — invalid queue vibes, not it.

lowkey important: those return values are the whole vibe check here. -EBUSY = still pending frames, -EINVAL = queue number out of range or inactive. no cap. 💀
