πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ hdm_write_completion(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (that's the kernel API section bestie, we love her) β€” and it's lowkey a tiny little function but she does so much. it's giving "small but mighty" energy fr fr πŸ’…


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

hdm_write_completion β€” the completion function for submitted Tx URBs. that's it, that's the vibe πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

void hdm_write_completion (struct urb *urb );

like, that's the whole signature. one arg. no return value. she's void and she's unbothered ✨


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • urb β€” the URB that has been completed. yes bestie, that URB. the one that just finished doing its little thing πŸ‘‘

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

okay so here's what happens, pay attention 🫢

this function checks the status of the completed URB. and then it's a little choose-your-own-adventure:

  • if the URB has been unlinked before, it is immediately freed β€” like, no thoughts, head empty, goodbye πŸ’€
  • on any other error, the MBO transfer flag is set β€” not me setting flags at the scene of the crime 😭
  • on success, it frees allocated resources and calls the completion function β€” iconic behavior, clean exit, we stan a responsible queen πŸ‘‘

so yeah. three paths. she handles all of them. main character energy tbh 🌈


⭐ CONTEXT ⭐

interrupt! ⚑

like actually. this runs in interrupt context. keep that in mind bestie, no sleeping on the job, no blocking, we're in the fast lane here πŸŽοΈπŸ’¨
