bnx2i_init_one(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay so bestie, we're looking at bnx2i_init_one(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally here to initialize an adapter instance and allocate memory resources ✨.

• bnx2i_init_one — initialize an adapter instance and allocate memory resources 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int bnx2i_init_one (struct bnx2i_hba *hba , struct cnic_dev *cnic );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hba — bnx2i adapter instance 🫶
• cnic — cnic device handle 🌸

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk: the global resource lock is held during critical sections below. That's the whole vibe, no cap 💅.

This routine is called from either cnic_register_driver or device hot plug context and and does the majority of device specific initialization 👑. Yes bestie, the original literally says “and and” — not me, it's giving typo royalty 😭 — but the meaning is locked in fr fr.
