pvr_ioctl_create_free_list(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for pvr_ioctl_create_free_list(9) — the IOCTL to create a free list, and honestly? iconic little kernel errand. 💅

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

here’s the signature, no cap — keep the punctuation exactly as-is, she’s precise:

int pvr_ioctl_create_free_list (struct drm_device *drm_dev , void
     *raw_args , struct drm_file *file );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• drm_dev — [IN] DRM device. literally just the DRM device, periodt 🫶
• raw_args — [IN/OUT] arguments passed to this IOCTL. this must be of type struct drm_pvr_ioctl_create_free_list_args, no substitutions bestie ✨
• file — [IN] DRM file private data. the DRM file’s private-data situation 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

called from userspace with DRM_IOCTL_PVR_CREATE_FREE_LIST. that’s the whole plot — userspace knocks on this IOCTL’s door and asks for a free list to be created. 🎀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success, or
• Any error returned by pvr_free_list_create. if it’s not a clean 0, it’s handing you whatever error comes back from there, fr fr 💀
