πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for lpfc_sli4_pcimem_bcopy(9) β€” literally the SLI4 memory copy function, and it’s lowkey iconic. πŸ’…

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void lpfc_sli4_pcimem_bcopy (void *srcp , void *destp , uint32_t cnt );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • srcp β€” source memory pointer, bestie. that’s where the data’s coming from.
  • destp β€” destination memory pointer, aka where it’s going.
  • cnt β€” number of words required to be copied. and not me reminding you: it must be a multiple of sizeof(uint64_t). periodt.

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

so this function is used for copying data between driver memory and the SLI WQ. ✨

it also changes the endianness of each word if native endianness is different from SLI endianness β€” yes, it’s giving bilingual but make it byte-order. πŸ¦‹

and good news: this function can be called with or without lock. no cap. 🫢
