geni_se_resources_init(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… geni_se_resources_init(9) β€” from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page, it's called geni_se_resources_init(9), and it's literally about waking up a GENI SE device's whole resource situation. let's get into it ✨


✨ NAME ✨

geni_se_resources_init β€” the girl whose entire job is initializing resources for a GENI SE device. she's the setup bestie. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int geni_se_resources_init (struct geni_se *se );

πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • se β€” a pointer to the geni_se structure, i.e. the actual GENI SE device being represented. that's the main character right there πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does this function actually do? it initializes all the various resources the GENI Serial Engine (SE) device needs to function, and honestly it's giving project manager energy:

  • it handles the clock resources β€” that's the core clock and the SE clock, both of them, no skipping πŸ•
  • it sorts out the interconnect paths for communication
  • it retrieves the optional and mandatory clock resources (yes, both kinds, she's thorough)
  • it adds an OF-based operating performance point (OPP) table
  • it sets up the interconnect paths with default bandwidths
  • and to top it all off, it sets a flag called has_opp to indicate whether OPP support is actually available for the device πŸ’…

like, she does a lot. no cap.


πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

  • 0 on success πŸŽ‰
  • a negative errno on failure 😭
