mite_ack_linkc(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mite_ack_linkc(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and today's main character is mite_ack_linkc(9). it's a tiny function, it's got three args, and it's literally the one that checks on the LINKC interrupt and then acks it. no cap. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mite_ack_linkc — check and ack the LINKC interrupt, 🦋

(yeah there's a lil comma at the end of the original one-liner, we're keeping her, she's iconic 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mite_ack_linkc (struct mite_channel *mite_chan , struct comedi_subdevice *s , bool sync );

look at that signature. void, so she gives nothing back — she just does the thing and leaves. queen behavior 👑 (and yes, those spaces before the commas are exactly how the original rolls, don't come for her)

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • mite_chan — the MITE dma channel. this is the one you're acking, the star of the show ⭐
  • s — the COMEDI subdevice. yes her name is literally just s, she's mysterious like that 🙈
  • sync — a flag, and its whole job is to force a mite_sync_dma. set it and the sync is happening whether you like it or not, iykyk 🔥

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

so the actual work here? this one checks and acks the LINKC interrupt. and the lil bonus detail that lowkey matters: it will also ack the DONE interrupt if that one's active. two acks, one function, she's efficient 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/comedi/drivers/mite.c and honestly the whole friend group is here, go say hi:

and that's the whole page bestie, she's short and she ate 💅 no filler, just interrupt-acking excellence ✨

mwah 💜 this has been mite_ack_linkc(9) from ./drivers/comedi/drivers, dated October 2026 — go ack those interrupts, ily, bye 🎀🦋
