initio_stop_bm(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

initio_stop_bm — stop bus master. Periodt. 💅

Okay bestie, welcome to initio_stop_bm(9) from the Kernel API Manual. This is the little function that hits the brakes on the bus master vibe. No cap, that's the whole name-card energy.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void initio_stop_bm (struct initio_host * host );

She takes one argument, returns <purple>void</purple>, and is literally right there in the signature. 💖

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• host — the InitIO we are stopping, bestie. That's the whole argument list, no hidden extras, iykyk. 🌸

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so what does she actually do? She stops any pending DMA operation, and yes, she aborts the DMA if that's necessary. That's the entire flex: pending DMA gets stopped, and an abort can happen when needed. 🫶

No extra lore in this description — just DMA shutdown energy with an “if necessary” abort moment. Slay. ✨
