svia_tf_load(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, meet svia_tf_load — from the Kernel API Manual — and its whole gig is literally: send taskfile registers to host controller. slay 💅✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void svia_tf_load (struct ata_port *ap , const struct ata_taskfile *tf
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ap — the port where the output is sent 🫶
• tf — the ATA taskfile register set, iconic 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so it outputs the ATA taskfile to the standard ATA host controller — no cap, that's the move 🌈

and the reason this exists? it's here to fix the internal bug of via chipsets, which will reset the device register after changing the IEN bit on the ctl register 😭💀 like, not me having to babysit a chipset quirk, but okay periodt 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Kernel file ./drivers/ata/sata_via.c
