πŸ’… omap_rproc_enable_timers β€” a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to omap_rproc_enable_timers(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. this is the little function that gets a remoteproc's timers up and running, and honestly it's giving "small but crucial" energy. let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

omap_rproc_enable_timers β€” enable the timers for a remoteproc πŸ•βœ¨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int omap_rproc_enable_timers (struct rproc *rproc , bool configure );

like yes, that's the whole signature, no cap. two args, one int coming back at you 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • rproc β€” handle of a remote processor. this is your main character pointer, the whole reason we're here πŸ’–
  • configure β€” a boolean flag used to acquire and configure the timer handle. like, do you want the full setup or just the "go" button? that's what this decides πŸ”₯

πŸ‘‘ DESCRIPTION πŸ‘‘

ok so this function is used primarily to enable the timers associated with a remoteproc. literally its whole job. and the configure flag is there so the driver has options, bestie: either it can acquire and start a timer (that's the device initialization moment, the whole glow-up), or it can just start a timer (that's the resume operation, no re-acquiring, we're just picking up where we left off ✨).

the way that flag just... gives you both paths? iconic. lowkey elegant. 🧚


⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success πŸŽ‰ β€” otherwise it hands you back an appropriate failure, and ngl that's your vibe check failing, go check your timers πŸ’€

go off, enable those timers, and remember: 0 is the only acceptable mood πŸ’…βœ¨
