✨ hisi_qm_start_qp(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this little cutie lives in section 9 and it's literally about firing up a queue pair. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

hisi_qm_start_qp — start a qp into running 🏃‍♀️💨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int hisi_qm_start_qp (struct hisi_qp *qp , unsigned long arg );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap ✨

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • qp — the qp we want to start to run 👑 this is THE main character here, the one getting woken up
  • arg — accelerator specific argument 🙈 it's giving "depends on the hardware, don't ask me", it's whatever the accelerator wants it to be

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so after this function runs, the qp can receive requests from the user 🫶 that's the whole glow-up. it returns 0 if it's successful, and a negative error code if it failed 😭 (negative = not slay, something went wrong)

fr fr, check that return value — 0 is the win, negative is the "oop" 💀
