xilinx_axidm...c_tx_segment(9)

🎀 xilinx_axidm...c_tx_segment(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for the little function that could: xilinx_axidma_alloc_tx_segment. It’s giving “grab me a transaction segment” energy, and I’m obsessed. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

xilinx_axidma_alloc_tx_segment — Allocate transaction segment. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the signature is literally right here, no cap:

struct xilinx_axidma_tx_segment * xilinx_axidma_alloc_tx_segment (struct
xilinx_dma_chan *chan );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• chan — driver specific DMA channel. that’s the whole argument, bestie; it’s the driver-specific DMA channel and we respect her. 💅

💫 RETURN 💫

on success you get the allocated segment. on failure? NULL. yes, the classic NULL fail era. 😭
