okay so this one lives in the zynqmp_dma_start_transfer(9) section of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a lil baby function with a big job: it initiates the new transfer. that's it, that's the whole vibe. main character energy for a void function ngl 💅

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

okay this part is LONG and you're gonna need a snack, but every single one of these is family, so here's the whole group chat 💬✨

and before the list — the source of truth is the kernel file ./drivers/dma/xilinx/zynqmp_dma.c, and it's also about struct zynqmp_dma_desc_ll(9), struct zynqmp_dma_desc_sw(9), struct zynqmp_dma_chan(9), and struct zynqmp_dma_device(9). slay 🧚

that's the whole roster, no cap, not one of them skipped 💀👑

ngl the entire documentation for this function is basically "give it a channel, it starts the transfer" and honestly? queen of not overexplaining. we respect it 🙈
