adf_devmgr_add_dev(9)

💖 adf_devmgr_add_dev(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (9 = kernel land, iykyk) and honestly? it's a whole vibe. it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities" 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

adf_devmgr_add_dev — literally just Add accel_dev to the acceleration framework. that's the whole mission, no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int adf_devmgr_add_dev (struct adf_accel_dev *accel_dev , struct
adf_accel_dev *pf );

like, two args, returns an int, doesn't get simpler than that 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• accel_dev — Pointer to acceleration device. this is THE device, the main character 👑
• pf — Corresponding PF if the accel_dev is a VF. that's the "if" doing heavy lifting, so don't sleep on it 💀

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Function adds acceleration device to the acceleration framework. To be used by QAT device specific drivers. fr fr, it's for the QAT crowd — if that's not you, this isn't your party 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, error code otherwise. so like, zero is the slay, anything else means something went sideways 😭

ngl this page is mostly "add the thing, return 0, bye" — but every single arg, return value and reference is here, so we're iconic regardless 💜
