ppc440spe_desc_is_aligned(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, we're doing ppc440spe_desc_is_aligned(9) today, and yes it's from the Kernel API Manual — we're in the kernel docs now, main character energy only 💅. Don't be scared, it's literally a one-job function and we're gonna get through it together 🫶

🎀 NAME

ppc440spe_desc_is_aligned — check alignment ✨

That's it. That's the whole vibe. She checks alignment. No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS

int ppc440spe_desc_is_aligned (struct ppc440spe_adma_desc_slot *desc ,
int num_slots );

Look at her go 😭 two args, one int coming back at you, iconic behavior honestly.

🌸 ARGUMENTS

  • desc — the manpage literally just says -- undescribed -- 💀 like okay gatekeep your struct king. It's a struct ppc440spe_adma_desc_slot *, and that's genuinely all the docs are giving us. Not me being lazy, that's just what the page says 🙈
  • num_slots — also -- undescribed -- 🫠 an int, and the docs said "figure it out bestie". So I'm telling you exactly what the source tells you: nothing more, nothing invented.
fr fr, when the manpage says -- undescribed --, I'm not gonna make up lore for it. That's a no from me. We report, we don't invent 🌈

That's the whole squad, nobody left behind 💜

aaaand that's the page!! short and sweet, just like she is 🍓

Sign-off time 🎀 this one lives under ./drivers/dma/ppc4xx and the page is dated October 2026 — that's the version/date tea, and no I will not be explaining why a kernel page is timestamped in the future, we simply don't ask those questions 💀✨

k byeeee, go check some alignment 🦋💖
