💅 ppc440spe_adma_alloc_slots(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ we're looking at ppc440spe_adma_alloc_slots, and yes the name is a whole mouthful, no cap. The vibe? It allocates free slots (if any) 🎀 — that's the whole pitch, that's the assignment, and honestly she ate.

✨ NAME ✨

ppc440spe_adma_alloc_slots — allocate free slots (if any) 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ppc440spe_adma_desc_slot * ppc440spe_adma_alloc_slots (struct
ppc440spe_adma_chan *chan , int num_slots , int slots_per_op );

like, she returns a struct ppc440spe_adma_desc_slot *, she takes three args, and the whole signature is doing main character energy fr fr 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

okay so here's the thing, and I need you to not panic: the docs literally did not describe a single one of these 😭 the manpage just says -- undescribed -- for all three. Not me reading a whole page of "undescribed" 🙈 so here's exactly what we got, zero extra lore, periodt:

  • chan — -- undescribed -- 💀
  • num_slots — -- undescribed -- 💀
  • slots_per_op — -- undescribed -- 💀
ngl bestie this is giving "TODO: write docs" energy 🫶 I'm not gonna make up what they do because that would be lying and lying is not slay. What's on the page is what you get ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is LOWKEY iconic — like she linked her entire friend group 👑 the kernel file lives at ./drivers/dma/ppc4xx/adma.c, and then there's this whole extended universe:

like... seventy entries?? she said "you WILL know my whole family tree" and honestly? respect 💜

🎀 and that's the page, bestie! short, sweet, aggressively undescribed in the arguments section, but we ship it anyway 🫶 big slay to ./drivers/dma/ppc4xx, dated October 2026, home of ppc440spe_adma_alloc_slots(9) — mwah, iconic, periodt ✨💅
