💅 ppc440spe_dma_put_desc(9) — the Kernel API Manual girlies rise

okay so first things first, bestie: this page lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the entire manual for ppc440spe_dma_put_desc. it's a little one. a snack-sized manpage. but we're gonna treat it with respect because that's the vibe ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ppc440spe_dma_put_desc — put DMA0,1 descriptor to FIFO. called with irqs disabled.

that's it. that's the whole name section. and yes, "irqs disabled" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in that sentence, so if you're calling this with interrupts enabled you need to stop and think about your choices, queen 😭

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ppc440spe_dma_put_desc (struct ppc440spe_adma_chan *chan , struct
ppc440spe_adma_desc_slot *desc );

returns void — so like, no report card, no grade, it just does the thing and leaves 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • chan — undescribed — no cap, the manpage literally does not describe it. that's not me being lazy, that's the source material being mysterious and giving main character energy 🙈
  • desc — undescribed — same situation, bestie. the docs said "you figure it out" and honestly? iconic of them.
lowkey obsessed with a manpage that just hands you two pointers and a dream 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file this whole thing actually lives in:

Kernel file ./drivers/dma/ppc4xx/adma.c

and now the full friend group. everyone in the family, no one left out, we don't do that here 💖

like, that's the whole extended universe. read them in order, they ate 🔥

and that's the page, bestie 🧚
