vpif_stop_streaming(9)

💅 vpif_stop_streaming(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

Okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally about telling the DMA engine to chill out. It's giving "closing time at the function," and I'm obsessed. Let me break it down for you, no gatekeeping. ✨

---

💖 NAME 💖

vpif_stop_streaming — okay so basically this is the function that stops the DMA engine. That's the whole vibe. Periodt. 💀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void vpif_stop_streaming (struct vb2_queue *vq );

Look at that signature, it's so clean. Returns void, meaning it gives you nothing back and honestly, it doesn't owe you anything. 👑

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• vq — ptr to vb2_queue. Just a lil pointer, bestie. That's it. That's the whole argument. She's lowkey minimal like that. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea: this callback stops the DMA engine, and any remaining buffers that are still hanging out in the DMA queue just get released. Bye babes! 💨 Gone. Freed. It's giving "you don't have to go home but you can't stay here." No cap, this is the cleanup arc and honestly it ate. 🔥

Mood board: this page lives at ./drivers/media/platform/ti/da… (the path got a lil truncated, she's mysterious like that), dated October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under vpif_stop_streaming(9) — catch you in the kernel docs, bestie! 🎀🦋💖
