📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 hisi_qm_stop — stop a qm, bestie

okay so this one's from the Linux Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally about putting a qm to sleep. not deleting it, not freeing it, just… stopping it. big difference, iykyk ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

hisi_qm_stop — stop a qm. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int hisi_qm_stop (struct hisi_qm *qm , enum qm_stop_reason r );

returns an int, takes two args, slays. 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • qm — the qm that's getting stopped. yes, that one. the main character. 👑
  • r — the reason we're stopping the qm, typed as an enum qm_stop_reason. like, why are we doing this. give it a reason, be a good friend. 💖

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so hisi_qm_stop stops the qm and its qps — the whole squad goes down together 🫶 — and after that the qm can not accept requests. like, door's closed, no more walk-ins, periodt.

but — and this is the important part, don't skip it — related resources are not released at this state. nope, nothing's getting freed, everything's still there, just chillin'. so if you change your mind you can literally just call hisi_qm_start and the qm starts again. iconic behaviour, honestly. ✨

no cap: this is a stop, not a destroy. resources stay put. don't go assuming they're gone. 🙈
