💖 bfa_nw_cee_attach(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual manual name, we're being fancy today 👑 — and this page is all about bfa_nw_cee_attach, aka the CEE module-attach API. it's giving "glue code that makes the whole thing work" and honestly we're obsessed 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bfa_nw_cee_attach — the CEE module-attach API, fr fr. that's the whole vibe of this page 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bfa_nw_cee_attach (struct bfa_cee *cee , struct bfa_ioc *ioc , void
*dev );

that's it, that's the whole call. three args, no return value (void — it just does the thing and leaves, main character energy 😌). note the spaces before the commas, bestie — that's exactly how it's written, we do not fix the formatting around here 💀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

one bullet each, keep up:

  • cee — pointer to the CEE module data structure. yes, the CEE module's own data struct, the little home base for all the CEE stuff 🏠
  • ioc — pointer to the ioc module data structure. the ioc's data struct, chilling right next to it 💜
  • dev — pointer to the device driver module data structure. and here's the important little detail: the device driver specific mbox ISR functions have this pointer as one of their parameters. so yeah, dev is not just decorative — the mbox ISR crew keeps it around 🔥

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file itself lives right here, no cap:

./drivers/net/ethernet/brocade/bna/bfa_cee.c

and here's the whole squad of related pages, all of them, in order, no skipping 🙈:

like, that's ten whole pages of bfa_cee lore, go read them and slay 💅✨

bestie note: this page is literally just the attach call plus its three pointers — no flags, no env vars, no exit statuses hiding anywhere. what you see is what you get 🍓

k bye, this page came to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/brocade... (the source line, truncated exactly like that, we don't make the rules 🌈) and it's dated October 2026 — mark your calendars, bfa_nw_cee_attach(9) said see you then 😭💖🧚
