✨ papr_rtas_run_sequence(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual corner of the group chat. this page is about papr_rtas_run_sequence, and it is literally here to run one single retrieval sequence. iconic, focused, no extra subplot. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

papr_rtas_run_sequence — run a single retrieval sequence. that’s the whole assignment: one sequence, one run. periodt. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

       const struct papr_rtas_blob * papr_rtas_run_sequence (struct
       papr_rtas_sequence *seq );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• seq — the caller’s functions that complete the sequence. iykyk: you bring the caller functions, this call completes the sequence. 🫶

🔥 CONTEXT 🔥

context check, bestie: this function may sleep. It holds a mutex and an RTAS work area for its duration. It typically performs multiple sleepable slab allocations. so yes, it’s a whole little operation — plan for the nap and the held resources, fr fr. 😴

💜 RETURN 💜

• success: a populated struct papr_rtas_blob. 🎀
• otherwise: an encoded error pointer. 😭
