π xilinx_mcdma_free_tx_segment β free that transaction segment, bestie π
okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (xilinx_mcdma...e_tx_segment(9)) and it's giving "small function, big cleanup energy" β¨ like it's literally one job and it does it. no notes. π
β¨ NAME β¨
xilinx_mcdma_free_tx_segment β the one that frees a transaction segment, periodt π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void xilinx_mcdma_free_tx_segment (struct xilinx_dma_chan *chan , struct
xilinx_aximcdma_tx_segment * segment );
no return value, no drama, just vibes and deallocation π¦
π ARGUMENTS π
chanβ the driver-specific DMA channel π« like, this is your channel, the main character of the operation.segmentβ the DMA transaction segment π the actual thing getting freed. bye bestie, you served.

π friendly lil heads-up: this whole page is just the free-segment function β it takeschanandsegmentand returns nothing. like,void. no takebacks. don't go inventing extra behavior for it, that's not the vibe π
and that's the whole page bestie π«Ά written out of ./drivers/dma/xilinx, dated October 2026, and it ate. no cap. see you in the next manpage πβ¨π
