iudma_read(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 iudma_read β€” the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition 🌸

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (iudma_read(9), section 9, the whole vibe) and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "small function, big feelings" ✨ let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

iudma_read β€” check for IUDMA buffer completion πŸ’– like, is the DMA channel done yet or not, that's the whole assignment


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int iudma_read (struct bcm63xx_udc *udc , struct iudma_ch *iudma );

that's it. that's the signature. she's small and she returns an int πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • udc β€” your reference to the device controller πŸ‘‘ this is the big boss object, the one that owns everything else
  • iudma β€” the IUDMA channel you're working with πŸ¦‹ the specific lane we're checking on, iykyk

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea β˜• this function checks whether ALL of the outstanding BDs on the DMA channel have been filled πŸ‘€ like, every single one, no halfsies, no "ehh close enough"

if they have? slay πŸ’… it returns the actual transfer length πŸ”₯ the real number, the good number

if they haven't? it returns -EBUSY 😭 which is the kernel's way of saying "girl not yet, come back later"

lowkey important: it's ALL of them or nothing, fr fr β€” partial completion does not get you a length, it gets you -EBUSY πŸ’€

πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

okay this is the part where the whole friend group shows up 🌈 first, the file she lives in:

Kernel file ./drivers/usb/gadget/udc/bcm63xx_udc.c

and now the full crew, every single one, no cap 🫢

like I said. the whole group chat πŸ’€πŸ’–


that's the page!! short king behavior honestly πŸ‘‘ this little cutie comes to you from ./drivers/usb/gadget/udc, dated October 2026, and it's filed under iudma_read(9) β€” go read the others too bestie, they're all in the SEE ALSO, mwah πŸ˜˜πŸ’…βœ¨
