get_io_resource(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… get_io_resource(9) πŸ’…

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for get_io_resource(9) β€” this one is literally about finding a node in a resource list and dodging the ISA aliasing window. no cap. πŸ’–

🌟 NAME 🌟

get_io_resource β€” find first node of given size not in ISA aliasing window.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct pci_resource * get_io_resource (struct pci_resource **head , u32 size );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • head β€” the list to search. that's what you're passing in, bestie. πŸ’…
  • size β€” the size of node to find. must be a power of two. periodt.

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so here's the vibe: get_io_resource sorts the resource list by size, then returns the first node of size length that is not in the ISA aliasing window. iconic behavior, honestly. ✨

and if it finds a node larger than size? it will split it up. the way that it just goes in and divides the node… yeah. 🫢
