✨ t4vf_sge_start(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes bestie, we're reading kernel docs together, this is our bonding era 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

t4vf_sge_start — enable SGE operation

like, literally turn the SGE on. that's the whole job. iconic minimalism 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void t4vf_sge_start (struct adapter *adapter );

no return value, no drama. it's void, it's confident, it's giving main character energy ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the adapter. that's it. that's the description. the adapter. the one and only 💖

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Start tasklets and timers associated with the DMA engine.

that's the tea ☕ — it kicks off the tasklets and the timers, both of them, the ones that belong to the DMA engine. not the other ones. these ones specifically. periodt 🔥
