πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β€” yes, we're doing kernel docs now, we're that girl ✨

intel_gvt_i2c_handle_aux_ch_write β€” it emulates an AUX channel register write. lowkey iconic of it tbh πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void intel_gvt_i2c_handle_aux_ch_write (struct intel_vgpu *vgpu , int
port_idx , unsigned int offset , void *p_data );

no cap, that's the whole signature β€” it returns void, so it just does the thing and doesn't even tell you how it went πŸ’€


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • vgpu β€” a vGPU. yes girl, the virtual one πŸ‘‘
  • port_idx β€” port index. which port? this port πŸ¦‹
  • offset β€” reg offset. the register location, so we know where we're poking around
  • p_data β€” write ptr. it's a pointer, and we're writing through it, periodt

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This function is used to emulate AUX channel register write. that's it, that's the vibe β€” it's giving "one job, doing it well" 🧚

like, the guest writes to the AUX channel register and this little legend steps in and emulates it so the vGPU doesn't have to know it's living in a simulation πŸ™ˆβœ¨
