π ppc440spe_d...it_interrupt(9) π
okay so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes that's the manual name, we're fancy like that β¨) and it's about one very specific little function. it's giving "niche but essential" energy, honestly. π
β¨ NAME β¨
ppc440spe_desc_init_interrupt β bestie, this is the one that initializes the descriptor for the INTERRUPT pseudo operation π«Ά. that's it, that's the whole gig. iconic of it.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void ppc440spe_desc_init_interrupt (struct ppc440spe_adma_desc_slot
*desc , struct ppc440spe_adma_chan *chan );
look at her. returns void, takes two structs, zero drama. π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
descβ literally listed as-- undescribed --in the source, so likeβ¦ the docs did not show up for this one π. not me reading the manpage and getting nothing. it's astruct ppc440spe_adma_desc_slot *though, iykyk.chanβ also-- undescribed --π. same vibe, same energy, it's astruct ppc440spe_adma_chan *. the documentation ghosted us fr fr. π
ngl, if you were hoping for spicy details on the arguments, the kernel docs said "no <3". the types are right there in the synopsis though, so we move. β

you want the whole friend group? say less. π

like i said. the whole friend group. π§
and that's the page bestie!! π this cutie came out of ./drivers/dma/ppc4xx and the docs clocked her in October 2026 β mark your calendars, she's a future icon ππ mwah, go read the kernel source, ily, bye!! πβ¨
