genwqe_T_psec(9)

💅 genwqe_T_psec — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the Kernel API Manual, we're in the big leagues now ✨) and honestly? she's a little niche but she ATE.

---

✨ NAME ✨

genwqe_T_psec — literally just here to Calculate PF/VF timeout register content 🧮💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int genwqe_T_psec (struct genwqe_dev *cd );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one function, one pointer, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cd — the GenWQE device information, aka the whole personality of the device you're working with 💅

---

💀 NOTE 💀

okay so gather round because this is the messy part 🙈

From a design perspective, it turned out to be a bad idea to use codes here to specify the frequency/speed values. not me finding out the hard way 😭

Why? because an old driver cannot understand new codes and is therefore always a problem. it's giving toxic ex who won't learn your new slang 💔

Better is to measure out the value or put the speed/frequency directly into a register — because that's always a valid value for old as well as for new software. slay, backwards compatibility, periodt 👑
