bnx2i_get_link_state(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, and yes we're in it 🫶 this whole page is about one tiny little function from bnx2i_get_link_state(9) and honestly? she's short but she matters.

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2i_get_link_state — get network interface link state 💫 (yes literally, that's the whole vibe: it goes and finds out what the link is doing)

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void bnx2i_get_link_state (struct bnx2i_hba *hba );

that's it. that's the whole call. no return value, no drama, no cap 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hba — the adapter instance pointer, aka the little handle that says which adapter we're talking about 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what she does is: updates the adapter structure flag based on the netdev state ✨

that's the entire job, and she does it flawlessly. it's giving "small function with main character energy" 👑 the adapter's flag gets refreshed to match whatever the netdev state currently is, and then she's done. iconic behavior honestly 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

if you're the kind of person who reads the whole friend group, here's everybody — go say hi 🫶

and also the kernel file itself, bestie: ./drivers/scsi/bnx2i/bnx2i_hwi.c 📁✨

iykyk note: every one of those (9) refs lives in that same corner of the tree — <cyan>./drivers/scsi/bnx2i</cyan> — so if you're going hunting, that's where the whole squad hangs out 🧚

that's the page, bestie!! this lil beauty ships out of ./drivers/scsi/bnx2i, dated October 2026, and she answers to the name bnx2i_get_link_state(9) 💖 mwah, go check that link state, slay 🎀✨
