πΈ NAME πΈ
genwqe_ddcbs_in_flight β literally just checks how many DDCBs are in flight π¦
π SYNOPSIS π
int genwqe_ddcbs_in_flight (struct genwqe_dev *cd );
like, that's the whole vibe. one function, one argument, it's giving "small but important" β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
cdβ pointer to the genwqe device descriptor π«Ά that's it, that's the whole argument list, she's a simple girl
π DESCRIPTION π
so what this does is keep track of the number of DDCBs that are currently in the queue π
this count is needed for statistics, and also for the condition where we want to wait β or, honestly, better to do polling in case there are no interrupts available π like when the interrupts just aren't showing up, you gotta know how many DDCBs are sitting in the queue so you can decide what to do. fr fr.
