πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’« pvr_context_create_queues β€” the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so picture this: it's giving "kernel API manual" but make it a group chat. We're in the pvr_context_create_queues(9) page, and honestly? She's a short one but she matters. This is the function that spins up, like, all the queues that are attached to a context. Every single one. Periodt. πŸ‘‘


🌸 NAME 🌸

pvr_context_create_queues β€” literally just create all queues attached to a context. That's the whole vibe. No cap.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int pvr_context_create_queues (struct pvr_context *ctx , struct
       drm_pvr_ioctl_create_context_args *args , void *fw_ctx_map );

Yeah she's a three-argument girlie. Copy it exactly, don't @ me. πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • ctx β€” the context you're creating queues on. This is the main character right here. πŸ‘‘
  • args β€” the context creation arguments, and they're passed by userspace, so you know they came from the outside world. 🫢
  • fw_ctx_map β€” the CPU mapping of the FW context object. FW = firmware, iykyk. ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

So what do you get back? Two options, bestie:

  • 0 on success πŸŽ‰ (slay, it worked)
  • A negative error code otherwise 😭 (it's giving "something went wrong", go check your life)
