πŸ’… octep_request_irqs(9) β€” like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page, it's called octep_request_irqs, and it's lowkey the moment everything gets wired up. scroll with me 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

octep_request_irqs β€” Register interrupt handlers. that's the whole vibe. it registers interrupt handlers. slay. πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int octep_request_irqs (struct octep_device *oct );

literally just that one call, one argument, and it returns an int. short and iconic πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • oct β€” the Octeon device private data structure. that's your whole device's little diary of private info, and you're handing it over. πŸ¦‹

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here's the tea: this function registers handlers for all queue and non-queue interrupts. all of them. every single one. no cap, it's not picky, it's not doing a subset, it's doing the whole set of interrupt handlers for the device. main character energy fr fr ✨πŸ”₯


⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 β€” on successful registration of all interrupt handlers. we love a happy ending πŸ’œ
  • -1 β€” on any error. and yes, any error, that's the whole story, no extra codes, no nuance. 😭
ngl bestie, always check the return value. 0 = slay, -1 = something went sideways and you should deal with it. πŸ™ˆ
