πŸ’… nwl_pcie_map_bus β€” get configuration base ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to nwl_pcie_map_bus(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual πŸ’– this is the little function that hands you back the configuration base β€” like, it knows exactly where in config space you need to be poking around, and it tells you. no cap, that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void __iomem * nwl_pcie_map_bus (struct pci_bus *bus , unsigned int
devfn , int where );

that's the whole signature, typed out character for character because we do NOT play fast and loose with function prototypes in this house 🫢


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • bus β€” the bus structure of the current bus 🚌 like, the actual bus you're working on rn. main character energy.
  • devfn β€” device/function πŸ”₯ yep, both of them, squished into one argument. iconic.
  • where β€” the offset from base πŸ“ how far you're stepping away from the start. lowkey important.

πŸ‘‘ RETURN πŸ‘‘

it returns the base address of the configuration space that needs to be accessed πŸ’« that's it, that's the whole gift. void __iomem * and everything, so you know it's a real memory-mapped situation πŸ’€

ngl bestie, if you were hoping for an error code or something β€” nope. it just gives you the base address. periodt.
