β¨ fsl_chan_xfer_ld_queue(9) β¨
okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities" energy π no cap.
πΈ NAME πΈ
fsl_chan_xfer_ld_queue β transfer any pending transactions π«
π SYNOPSIS π
void fsl_chan_xfer_ld_queue (struct fsldma_chan *chan );
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
chanβ the Freescale DMA channel, aka the main character of this whole operation π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
okay so here's the vibe check you actually need to pass before you call this:
- HARDWARE STATE: idle π΄
- LOCKING: must hold
chan->desc_lockπ
that's it, that's the whole description. no cap, it's short but it's iconic. literally two facts and both of them are load-bearing π«Ά
ngl bestie, do NOT skip the locking line. you must be holding chan->desc_lock β this isn't a suggestion, it's the whole assignment π
