πŸ’– dwc2_next_for_periodic_split(9) πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” this one's a little function with a big job and honestly the name alone is giving final boss energy 😭


🌸 NAME 🌸

dwc2_next_for_periodic_split β€” sets next_active_frame midway thru a split. yes that's the whole vibe. mid-split. halfway. iconic behavior only πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int dwc2_next_for_periodic_split (struct dwc2_hsotg *hsotg , struct
dwc2_qh *qh , u16 frame_number );

like, it returns an int, it takes three things, and it's dwc2_next_for_periodic_split fr fr 🫢


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • hsotg β€” the HCD state structure πŸ‘‘ like the main character of this whole situation
  • qh β€” the QH for the periodic transfer πŸ¦‹
  • frame_number β€” the current frame number ⭐ the now. the present. the moment.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea πŸ“: this function gets called to set next_active_frame for periodic splits β€” but only for all but the first packet of the split. "Confusing?" the original literally says "I thought so..." and honestly? same bestie, same πŸ’€πŸ˜­

So let me break down periodic splits for you, because this part lowkey slaps:

Periodic splits are single low/full speed transfers that we end up splitting up into several high speed transfers. the way that works is genuinely wild. They always fit into one full (1 ms) frame 🎯 but might get split over several microframes (125 us each) β€” yes, microframes. tiny. baby frames. 🧚

We've gotta put each of the parts on a very specific high speed frame. no cap. precision is everything here.

And this function? it figures out where the next active uFrame needs to be. that's it. that's the job. main character energy, minimal dialogue πŸ’…βœ¨
