💖 irq_alloc_generic_chip(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the irq_alloc_generic_chip(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — it’s giving “grab a generic chip and get it initialized,” and honestly? iconic. 🫶✨

✨ NAME ✨

irq_alloc_generic_chip — allocate a generic chip and initialize it, periodt. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct irq_chip_generic * irq_alloc_generic_chip (const char *name , int
       num_ct , unsigned int irq_base , void __iomem *reg_base ,
       irq_flow_handler_t handler );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• name — the name of the irq chip. slay. 👑
• num_ct — the number of irq_chip_type instances associated with this. 🦋
• irq_base — the interrupt base nr for this chip. 🔥
• reg_base — the register base address (virtual). 💜
• handler — the default flow handler associated with this chip. ✨

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

It returns an initialized irq_chip_generic structure. the chip defaults to the primary (index 0) irq_chip_type and handler — highkey iconic, no cap. 💖
