adf_cfg_add_key_value_param(9)

💅 adf_cfg_add_key_value_param(9) — like, the whole glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the page for adf_cfg_add_key_value_param, and yes it's a mouthful, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

adf_cfg_add_key_value_param — the function that adds a key-value config entry to the config table. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int adf_cfg_add_key_value_param (struct adf_accel_dev *accel_dev , const
       char *section_name , const char *key , const void *val , enum
       adf_cfg_val_type type );

look at her. iconic signature. five args, returns an int, no cap 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

here's the cast of characters, main character energy all around:

• accel_dev — pointer to the acceleration device. literally the device you're doing this for 💖
• section_name — the name of the section where the param is gonna be added. like picking which folder in the group chat 🎀
• key — the key string. that's the label, the name tag, the whole identity 🔥
• val — the value pain for the given key. (yes, "pain" — that's what the page says, we're keeping it, it's giving typo-but-make-it-canon 😭)
• type — the type: string, int, or address. pick one, be decisive ⭐

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what she does: this function adds a configuration key-value entry into the appropriate section of the given acceleration device. super simple, super clean 🧚

and here's the ✨ twist ✨ — if the key already exists? it doesn't throw a fit, it just updates the value. lowkey flexible of her 💅

📌 important bit: this is to be used by QAT device specific drivers. so like, iykyk, this one's for the QAT crowd 👑

---

🎀 RETURN 🎀

• 0 on success 💖
• an error code otherwise 💀

no in-between, she's either slaying or she's not.

ngl bestie, read the source file too — the manpage is cute but the code is where the lore lives 🫶

okay that's the page!! mwah 💋 this was brought to you by the kernel source at ./drivers/crypto/intel/qat/qat... and dated October 2026 — yes, october 2026, she's from the future, periodt ⭐🌸💜
