💖 bnx2fc_get_link_state(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this little cutie lives in bnx2fc_get_link_state(9) and honestly it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2fc_get_link_state — get network link state, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void bnx2fc_get_link_state (struct bnx2fc_hba *hba );

literally one argument, returns nothing (void), no cap 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hba — the adapter instance pointer 🧚 like, the actual adapter we're checking up on, bestie

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does it do? it updates a flag in the adapter structure based on the netdev state 👑 that's the whole plot. the adapter's flag gets refreshed to match whatever the network device is doing right now, and yes that is iconic of it 💜

ngl this is a tiny function, but it's the kind of tiny function everyone else depends on, so don't sleep on it 😭
