💖 NAME 💖

ppc440spe_adma_alloc_chan_resources — allocate pools for CDB slots

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's giving "short but iconic" ✨ It does exactly one thing and the name says it: it allocates pools for CDB slots. That's the whole vibe. No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ppc440spe_adma_alloc_chan_resources (struct dma_chan *chan );

that's it, that's the whole signature 🫶 (yes, the space before the closing paren is real, keep it, iykyk)

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • chan — the manpage literally just says -- undescribed -- 😭 like the docs said "we're not doing that today". So that's all the info that exists: it's a struct dma_chan * and it's called chan. Respect the mystery 💅

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

bestie, buckle up, because the SEE ALSO section here is main character energy — it's a whole friend group 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/dma/ppc4xx/adma.c is where the magic lives, and these are all the siblings:

sixty-nine cross-references, all of them linked, none of them skipped 💀 that's not a SEE ALSO, that's a group chat. periodt.

ngl there are no options, no environment variables, no exit statuses, no errors and no examples on this page — that's not me being lazy, that's genuinely the whole page 🎀 don't come for me, come for the source.

okay that's the whole page bestie, slay 💅 this little beauty lives in ./drivers/dma/ppc4xx, dated October 2026, and it goes by ppc440spe_adma_alloc_chan_resources(9) — go forth and allocate those CDB slot pools, you're gonna do iconic things 🦋✨🌸
