rm3100_regma..._read_locked(9)

💅 rm3100_regma..._read_locked(9) — yes the name's long, she's dramatic, live with it

Okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today (that's the manual name, no cap — that's literally what section this page lives in) and the page is rm3100_regma..._read_locked(9). The title got truncated by the manpage formatter because it was too iconic to fit. Anyway. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

rm3100_regmap_bulk_read_locked — bestie she is literally just a wrapper around regmap_bulk_read() with a mutex. That's it. That's the whole job. She shows up, she locks, she reads, she unlocks. Main character energy fr. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int rm3100_regmap_bulk_read_locked (struct rm3100_data *data , unsigned
int reg , void *val , size_t val_count );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• data — your data structure that's carrying the regmap and the mutex. Two-for-one situation, we love a multitasker. 💖
• reg — the first register you're reading from, and it gets passed straight on to regmap_bulk_read. No gatekeeping here. ✨
• val — the pointer where the read value lands, in the native register size for the device, also handed off to regmap_bulk_read. Sizes matter, bestie. 👑
• val_count — how many registers you're reading, passed to regmap_bulk_read. Like how many slices of pizza. 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, <pink>intended for use only in rm3100_trigger_handler</pink>. That's the whole vibe check — this is not a general-purpose girlie, she has ONE job and one context, and if you use her anywhere else that's on you. 🙈

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• zero on success — slay, we ate. ✅
• a negative errno in error cases — 😭 it happens to the best of us, just check your returns.

---

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

• Kernel file ./drivers/iio/magnetometer/rm3100-core.c — go read the source, it's giving lore dropped. 📖

ngl if you're looking for more context, the actual code is right there in the file above. iykyk. 💅

okay bestie that's the whole page 🧚 this iconic little entry lives in the directory ./drivers/iio/magnetometer, it's stamped October 2026, and it answers to the name rm3100_regma..._read_locked(9) — yes, still truncated, still gorgeous. mwah 💖
