bnx2x_chk_parity_attn(9)

💖 bnx2x_chk_parity_attn(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one's a little function called bnx2x_chk_parity_attn — say that five times fast, i literally can't. it's a bool-returning baddie that checks for parity attentions. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool bnx2x_chk_parity_attn (struct bnx2x *bp , bool *global , bool print
);

like yes, the formatting is giving chaotic line break, but that's exactly how it ships, so we keep it 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• bp — the driver handle. it's the main character, the whole context of the driver lives in here 🫶
• global — a bool *, and it comes back true if there was a global attention. so like, it's telling you how big the attention situation is 👀
• print — another bool, and this one's the loud one: it makes the parity attention show up in syslog 📢

no cap, global and print are both pointers-to-bool in the signature, so treat them with the respect they deserve 😌

the lore is deep, bestie — the actual code lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_main.c and it's surrounded by so many friends. go read these next, fr fr:

and that's the whole page, periodt 💜 this queen came from source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... (yeah it's truncated like that, i don't make the rules 🙈) and it's stamped October 2026, still answering to the name bnx2x_chk_parity_attn(9). mwah 💋
