xgene_ahci_poll_reg_val(9)

💅 xgene_ahci_poll_reg_val — the kernel API manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-functions one, iykyk) and honestly? it's a little one, but it's a worker. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xgene_ahci_poll_reg_val — literally just poll a register until it hits a specific value 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int xgene_ahci_poll_reg_val (struct ata_port *ap , void __iomem *reg ,
unsigned int val , unsigned int interval , unsigned int timeout );

she takes five things and she returns an int. that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• ap — the ATA port you're obsessed with. your port of interest, okurrr.
• reg — the register you're staring at. the one. the main character.
• val — the value you want it to attain. like, the goal. the dream. ⭐
• interval — how long you wait between polls. patience, bestie, patience 🧚
• timeout — how long you're willing to wait to achieve that value before you give up. no pressure or anything 😭

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file is ./drivers/ata/ahci_xgene.c — that's the home base, that's the lore 🫶

and these icons are also in the group chat:

• xgene_ahci_pmp_softreset(9)
• xgene_ahci_softreset(9)
• xgene_ahci_handle_broken_edge_irq(9)

ngl there's not a lot to spill here — she polls, she checks the value, she respects your interval and your timeout. that's it. that's the function. periodt. 💀

and that's the whole page, babe — straight out of ./drivers/ata, dated October 2026, served to you by the Kernel API Manual. slay, stay hydrated, and may all your registers hit their target value on the first poll 🌈💜🎀
