🌸 ppc440spe_chan_run — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so like. bestie. you found the page for ppc440spe_chan_run, and yes, it is from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, consider it folded in nicely, you're welcome 💅). this is the DMA-channel-wrangling corner of the kernel and honestly it's so niche it's kind of iconic. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ppc440spe_chan_run — enable the channel 🎀

that's it. that's the whole job. one channel, one enable. lowkey the cleanest job description in the whole tree, ngl.

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

void ppc440spe_chan_run (struct ppc440spe_adma_chan *chan );

returns void, takes exactly one pointer, no cap. it's giving "minimalist main character energy" fr fr ⭐

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • chan — the manual literally says -- undescribed -- for this one 😭 and like, we are NOT out here inventing lore, so bestie, that's the whole description: it's undescribed. the docs said nothing, we say nothing. we respect the silence 🙈
ngl, the naming makes it pretty obvious it's the struct ppc440spe_adma_chan * you're enabling, but that's me reading the synopsis, not me making stuff up in the docs. we stay honest here 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so brace yourself because this list is LONG and it ATE. this is basically the entire ppc440spe/adma extended universe, and it's all here, all of it, no skipping 💜

also, straight from the source itself: the kernel file is ./drivers/dma/ppc4xx/adma.c — that's where all the actual magic lives, iykyk 🔥

like genuinely, if you made it through that SEE ALSO list you deserve a little treat 🍓 this whole page lives in the ./drivers/dma/ppc4xx directory (that's the source, bestie), and it's dated October 2026 — yes, the version is literally the month. slay. anyway, that's the whole page, one function, one very undescribed argument, and seventy-ish friends. go enable that channel 💅✨🧚
