xilinx_vdma_free_tx_segment(9)

✨ xilinx_vdma_free_tx_segment 💅

okay so this one's from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's genuinely one of the simpler ones — it's giving "short but essential," y'know? The name literally says it all: xilinx_vdma_free_tx_segment — free that transaction segment, periodt. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

xilinx_vdma_free_tx_segment — free a transaction segment 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void xilinx_vdma_free_tx_segment (struct xilinx_dma_chan *chan , struct
xilinx_vdma_tx_segment *segment );

like yes, that's the whole thing, and it returns void because it's got nothing to report back — it's a "just do it and move on" kind of function 💀

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• chan — the driver-specific DMA channel 💖 like, this is the channel that owns the thing, your main character struct.
• segment — the DMA transaction segment that's getting freed 🌸 this is the one catching a one-way ticket out.
