✨ sec_queue_empty(9) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and we're talking about sec_queue_empty — literally the vibe check for your hardware queue 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sec_queue_empty — is this hardware queue currently empty? that's it, that's the whole question 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool sec_queue_empty (struct sec_queue *queue );

yeah it's just one function and it returns a bool, no big deal, she's lowkey iconic for it ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• queue — the queue you wanna test, bestie 💖 like, the actual queue you're asking about. hand it over and let the function do its thing.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea ☕ — we need to know if we have an empty queue for some of the chaining modes, because if it is not empty, we may need to hold the message in a software queue until the hw queue is drained. fr fr, that's the whole reason. the way that the hardware queue has to be drained before the message moves along… it's giving pipeline management 🌈

so yeah, sec_queue_empty is your main character function answering the one question: is this hardware queue currently empty? 👑
