💅 xilinx_dpdma_chan_queue_transfer(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so real talk, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this page is about xilinx_dpdma_chan_queue_transfer. it's a kernel function, it's giving "small but does a LOT", and we're gonna go through it together. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

xilinx_dpdma_chan_queue_transfer — Queue the next transfer 🦋

that's it. that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void xilinx_dpdma_chan_queue_transfer (struct xilinx_dpdma_chan *chan );

so it returns void (no return value, she doesn't owe you an answer 💅) and it takes exactly one argument. slay.

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • chan — the DPDMA channel. that's the one and only thing you hand her. 🫶

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's the vibe: this function queues the next descriptor, if any, to the hardware. note the "if any" — sometimes there just isn't one, and that's fine, we move on, no drama. ✨

and then there's the branch situation:

  • if the channel is stopped, start it first.
  • otherwise, retrigger it with the next descriptor.

literally that's the whole flow. lowkey elegant, highkey important. 👑

fr fr keep in mind she's touching the hardware here — so this is one of those "you should know what you're doing" kind of calls, iykyk. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

buckle up bestie, this list is LONG and honestly? obsessed with the completeness. 💖

like I said. a whole friend group. 💜
