ipa_cmd_trans_alloc(9)

💅 ipa_cmd_trans_alloc 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — section 9, the deep-lore corner where we talk about the IPA driver's command TX endpoint. yes we're literally in the kernel now, put your hair up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ipa_cmd_trans_alloc — allocates a transaction for the command TX endpoint, no cap, that's the whole gig 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct gsi_trans * ipa_cmd_trans_alloc (struct ipa *ipa , u32 tre_count );

like… look at her. she's giving "returns a pointer, takes two things." iconic 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ipa — the IPA pointer, obviously. your main character struct ✨
• tre_count — how many elements are in the transaction, fr fr. count 'em 🔥

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get back a struct gsi_trans * — a GSI transaction structure, slay 💖 — or a null pointer if, and I cannot stress this enough, all the available transactions are in use 😭 like they're all booked, no tables left, sorry babe.
