spu_restore(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so welcome to spu_restore(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is literally about restoring an SPU context, and she brought harvest and locking with her.

• spu_restore — SPU context restore, with harvest and locking. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int spu_restore (struct spu_state *new , struct spu *spu );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• new — pointer to the SPU context save area, to be restored. ✨
• spu — pointer to the SPU iomem structure. 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, the move here is: perform harvest + restore, because we may not be coming from a previous successful save operation, and the hardware state is unknown 😭 so yeah, she's doing the full combo, no assumptions.

hardware state unknown = not a vibe-check-free zone, fr fr 💀
