hisi_qm_create_qp(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 hisi_qm_create_qp(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual bestie ✨

okay so welcome to the function that literally births a queue pair 🎀 this is hisi_qm_create_qp, straight out of the Kernel API Manual — section 9, kernel-space tea only, no userspace shenanigans here 💖

✨ NAME ✨

hisi_qm_create_qp — spawn a queue pair out of a qm. that's it. that's the whole job. main character energy fr fr 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct hisi_qp * hisi_qm_create_qp (struct hisi_qm *qm , u8 alg_type );

yes she returns a struct hisi_qp * pointer, and yes you pass her two things. we'll get to those 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • qm — the qm we're creating a qp from. like, the source. the origin story. you do not get a qp out of nowhere bestie, you get it from a qm 🫶
  • alg_type — the accelerator-specific algorithm type, living in the sqc. it's a u8, so keep it tidy. this is the accelerator's little "which algorithm am I" label ⭐

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Returns the created qp. that's the good timeline 💖

But if it fails? negative error code. not zero, not a NULL you can shrug off — negative error code 😭 so like, check your return value. always. iykyk. a negative code is the function going "girl, no" and you need to actually handle that 🙈
