✨ ddcb_requ_finished(9) ✨

okay so bestie, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual β€” we're in kernel-land now, put your big-girl hat on πŸŽ€


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

ddcb_requ_finished β€” literally just returns the hardware state of the associated DDCB, that's the whole gig 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ddcb_requ_finished (struct genwqe_dev *cd , struct ddcb_requ *req );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • cd β€” pointer to the genwqe device descriptor, aka the device's little ID card πŸ’…
  • req β€” the DDCB work request itself, the main character of this whole function ngl πŸ‘‘

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the tea β˜• β€” the status of ddcb_requ mirrors this hardware state, but it actually gets copied into the ddcb_requ over in the interrupt/polling function. Lowkey important distinction, so pay attention bestie:

  • the lowlevel code should check the hardware state directly πŸ”₯
  • the higher level code should check the copy ✨

Like, know your lane, y'know? iykyk πŸ’€

This function will also return true if the state of the queue is not GENWQE_CARD_USED. And why do we care? Because that's what enables us to purge all the DDCBs in the shutdown case πŸ§ΉπŸ’œ β€” very cleanup, very demure, very slay.

πŸ’€ reminder: lowlevel = hardware state direct, higher level = the copy. do not mix them up or it's giving undefined-vibes.

aaaand that's a wrap bestie πŸŽ€ this page came to you from ./drivers/misc/genwqe, dated October 2026, and it's called ddcb_requ_finished(9) β€” go forth and check those hardware states, ily, bye πŸ’–βœ¨πŸ¦‹
