β¨ octep_setup_irqs β¨
okay bestie so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about octep_setup_irqs β the little function that gets your Octeon device's interrupts all set up and glowing π
πΈ NAME πΈ
octep_setup_irqs β setup interrupts for the Octeon device. that's it, that's the vibe π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int octep_setup_irqs (struct octep_device *oct );
π ARGUMENTS π
octβ the Octeon device private data structure. like, the device's whole personality lives in here π«Ά
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
okay so here's what actually goes down, no cap:
- it allocates the data structures that hold all the per-interrupt info β¨
- it allocates and enables the MSI-x interrupt π₯
- and it registers the interrupt handlers, so everything's wired up and ready to go π
it's giving "getting the whole squad ready for the party" energy, fr fr π
β RETURN β
0β slay! returned on successful allocation and registration of all the interrupts π-1β oop π returned on any error
ngl bestie, it's all-or-nothing here β if anything goes sideways you get -1, not a partial success situation π
