pmcraid_all...nfig_buffers(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this one is pmcraid_allocate_config_buffers — she's the one who allocates DMAable memory for the config table ✨ no cap, that's literally her whole job.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int pmcraid_allocate_config_buffers (struct pmcraid_instance *pinstance
);

like… look at her. one argument. zero drama. main character energy fr 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pinstance — pointer to the per adapter instance structure. that's it, that's the whole input 🫶 she just needs to know which adapter she's setting up config buffers for.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — this function goes and gets DMAable memory for the config table. that's the vibe. no cap.

Return Value: 0 for successful allocation, -ENOMEM for any failure 😭 (and yeah, if you see -ENOMEM it means the memory said "not today bestie").

lowkey important: 0 = slayed, -ENOMEM = literally out of memory, no in-between, no other codes. periodt.
