💖 hisi_qm_start(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for hisi_qm_start(9) — literally the "press play on the queue manager" moment, and yes it's as cute as it sounds 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

hisi_qm_start — start qm 💅 (yes that's the whole name, she's lowkey minimal)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int hisi_qm_start (struct hisi_qm *qm);

returns an int, takes a pointer to a struct hisi_qm, no drama, no cap ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • qm — the qm to be started. that's it. that's the whole argument. she gets one (1) job and she ate 🫶

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so the way this works: this function starts a qm, and then we can allocate qp from this qm. that's the entire lore fr fr — start the qm first, allocate the qp after. order matters, don't come at me 🧚

no hidden extras, no surprise behaviours — the original says exactly this much and I'm not gonna invent plot twists 💀
