vme_dma_list_exec(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — today's main character is vme_dma_list_exec, and she's literally here to queue a VME DMA list for execution. periodt. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int vme_dma_list_exec (struct vme_dma_list *list );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• list — a pointer to the VME list, iykyk 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea: you hand over the VME DMA list you've been building, and this call queues the provided VME DMA list for execution. The call will return once the list has been executed — like, it's not gonna ghost you mid-operation, it comes back when the list is done. no cap. 💅

🌸 RETURN 🌸

• 0 — success, slay ✨
• -EINVAL — if the operation is not supported on this device, awkward 🙈
• hardware specific errors — also possible, because hardware loves to be dramatic 😭
