stratix10_s...ocate_memory(9)

💖 stratix10_s...ocate_memory(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about one little function. ngl the title gets truncated with ... in the header, but the actual NAME is stratix10_svc_allocate_memory — say that five times fast, i can't 😭

---

✨ NAME ✨

stratix10_svc_allocate_memory — allocate the momory

(yes, that's the spelling from the original, "momory", and i'm keeping it because it's iconic and i refuse to erase history 💅)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void * stratix10_svc_allocate_memory (struct stratix10_svc_chan *chan ,
size_t size );

so it's a void * return, it takes a struct stratix10_svc_chan *chan and a size_t size, and that's the whole vibe check. ✨

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• chan — the service channel assigned to the client. like, whose channel is this? yours, bestie 🫶
• size — number of bytes client requests. that's the ask, that's the amount, that's the whole point.

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so the service layer allocates the requested number of bytes from the memory pool for the client. that's it, that's the whole plot. it's giving "short and slays" energy, no cap. 🔥

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• on success: you get the starting address of allocated memory 🎉
• on error: you get ERR_PTR 😭

so check your pointers, bestie, don't just start dereferencing and hoping for the best 🙈

like, that's a whole squad right there, i'm obsessed 🌈

lowkey reminder: this page lives at ./include/linux/firmware/intel and it's dated October 2026, and it's still gonna be titled stratix10_s...ocate_memory(9) because the header truncation is forever 💀

k byeee, go allocate some momory responsibly, and remember: free it later. stratix10_svc_free_memory(9) is literally right there in SEE ALSO, i'm just saying 💜🧚‍♀️
