__i40e_pf_next_veb(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 __i40e_pf_next_veb — like, the whole vibe 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little kernel function from the i40e driver and honestly? she's giving "small but essential" energy. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

__i40e_pf_next_veb — get next valid VEB 💅 (yes that's the whole name, and yes she ate)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct i40e_veb * __i40e_pf_next_veb (struct i40e_pf *pf , int *idx );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap. 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pf — pointer to the PF struct 👑 like, the whole PF situation, you're passing her in
  • idx — pointer to start position number 🔢 a lil pointer to where you wanna start looking, iykyk

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what she does: she finds and returns the next non-NULL VEB pointer in the pf->veb array 💖 and along the way she updates the idx position, so like, she's not just a finder, she's a mover-and-shaker, she keeps the receipt 🧾✨

and if there's no VEB to be found? she returns NULL 😭 not in a mean way, just in a "nothing here bestie" way. periodt. 💀

ngl this is the classic walk-the-array pattern — start at idx, skip the NULLs, hand back the next real one, and bump idx so the next call can keep going 🌈
