📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 genwqe_set_interrupt_capability(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual edition 🎀

okay so bestie, real talk: this page lives in section 9 of the kernel API manual, and it's all about one lil' function that sets up your MSI capability structure. it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy fr fr ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

genwqe_set_interrupt_capability — configure the MSI capability structure. no cap, that's literally the whole job 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int genwqe_set_interrupt_capability (struct genwqe_dev *cd , int count );

she's a function, she returns an int, and she takes exactly two arguments — we love a low-maintenance icon 👑

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • cd — pointer to the device 🫶 like, hand her the actual device struct and she'll take it from there.
  • count — the number of vectors to allocate 🌈 so you're telling her how many you want, bestie. be honest with her.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 — returned if there's no error ⭐ that's it. zero means we ate, we slayed, we're done. periodt.
heads up babe, the page only promises 0 for "no error" — it doesn't spell out what a non-zero value looks like, so don't go making stuff up 🙈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

she doesn't do this alone, bestie — she's part of the whole squad hanging out in the kernel file ./drivers/misc/genwqe/card_utils.c. go say hi to:
