πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– read_ep0_fifo(9) β€” Kernel API Manual, bestie edition πŸŽ€

okay so picture this: it's the Kernel API Manual, and we're about to talk about read_ep0_fifo. yes that's the whole page title and honestly? iconic. let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

read_ep0_fifo β€” literally here to transfer packets from the control endpoint into the usb request. that's the job. that's the whole vibe. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int read_ep0_fifo (struct pxa_ep *ep , struct pxa27x_request *req );

look at her go. two args, one int return, no notes. 🫢


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • ep β€” the control endpoint, aka the main character of this whole operation πŸ‘‘
  • req β€” the pxa usb request, where all the bytes are gonna end up πŸŽ€

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

okay so this is the special ep0 version of the above read_fifo β€” like, the limited-edition drop, iykyk. 🌈

what it does: reads as many bytes from the control endpoint as can be read, and stores them into the usb request. and yes, it's limited by the request maximum length β€” so it's not just gonna keep going forever, it has boundaries, we love a function with boundaries. πŸ’€

Return value time, because this one's a little funky:

  • returns 0 if the usb request is only partially filled
  • returns 1 if it's fully filled

that's it. that's the whole bit. lowkey elegant ngl πŸ¦‹


⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

okay bestie, this is a long list, so buckle up β€” we're going to the function-adjacent. everything here lives in the kernel file ./drivers/usb/gadget/udc/pxa27x_udc.c, and honestly the way this file has this many functions is giving "wrote one file and said periodt". πŸ”₯

like… 70-something friends. she's social. πŸ’…βœ¨


and that's the page!! 🫢 this lil baddie lives in ./drivers/usb/gadget/udc, and the version stamp on this whole thing is October 2026 β€” so jot that down, screenshot it, frame it, whatever feels right. bye bestie, go read some fifos πŸ’–πŸŽ€πŸŒΈ
