💖 edac_pci_create_generic_ctl(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner of the group chat 🫶. We're talking about edac_pci_create_generic_ctl(9), and yes, the title is already giving “long function name, main character energy” 💅.

🌸 NAME 🌸

edac_pci_create_generic_ctl — the original NAME blurb is literally blank, so no invented lore here, bestie 😭. It's just the function name and the manual-page hyphen. Iconic minimalism, lowkey.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct edac_pci_ctl_info * edac_pci_create_generic_ctl (struct device
       *dev , const char *mod_name );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — pointer to struct device;
• mod_name — name of the PCI device

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this is a generic constructor for a PCI parity polling device ✨. Some systems have more than one domain of PCI busses — not me being dramatic, that's the manual. For systems with one domain, then this API will provide for a generic poller 🫶.

This routine calls the edac_pci_alloc_ctl_info for the generic device, with default values. Defaults? We love a no-fuss setup, periodt 💅.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Pointer to struct edac_pci_ctl_info on success, NULL on failure. That's it, that's the vibe check: pointer = slay, NULL = not slay 😭.
