π gsi_trans_read_byte_done(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β this is a (9) page, so it's kernel-internal vibes, not your "type ls and pray" situation π
β¨ NAME β¨
gsi_trans_read_byte_done β the literal cleanup crew that shows up after a single byte read TRE π§Ήβ¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void gsi_trans_read_byte_done (struct gsi *gsi , u32 channel_id );
π ARGUMENTS π
gsiβ your GSI pointer π«Ά like, that's the whole handle, that's the homie.channel_idβ the channel on which the byte was read π« the specific slot where the reading happened, iykyk.
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So here's the tea β β you need to call this function to signal that the work related to reading a byte has been completed. And when we say "the byte," we mean the byte that was initiated by gsi_trans_read_byte π₯
Think of it like: gsi_trans_read_byte kicked off the read, and this function is the "okay we're done here, you can wrap it up" text in the group chat. Not calling it is giving unfinished business energy π so like... call it. fr fr.
no cap: this is the cleanup step after a single byte read TRE. It's not optional decoration, it's the signal that the work is complete π―
