bnx2x_complete_vlan_mac(9)

💖 bnx2x_complete_vlan_mac — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and we're talking about bnx2x_complete_vlan_mac(9). strap in, it's giving "one small function, one big driver" energy 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2x_complete_vlan_mac — the function that completes one VLAN-MAC ramrod 🎀 (yes that's the real terminology, no I did not make it up, and yes it's iconic)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bnx2x_complete_vlan_mac (struct bnx2x *bp , struct
       bnx2x_vlan_mac_obj *o , union event_ring_elem *cqe , unsigned long
       *ramrod_flags );

literally just four params and an int return, we love a minimal signature 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• bp — the device handle 💻 like, this is your actual NIC, your main character
• o — a bnx2x_vlan_mac_obj 🎀 that's the VLAN-MAC object itself, the thing we're completing
• cqe — the completion element ✨ as in, the completion queue entry that came back — the receipt, basically
• ramrod_flags — and bestie listen, if set, schedule next execution chunk 🔥 that's the whole deal with this one: set it and the next chunk of work gets queued up

ngl ramrod_flags being a unsigned long * (a pointer!) is a vibe, but it's exactly what the manpage says so we're not touching it 🙈

that's the whole page, no cap, nothing left out 🧚💜

cute lil sign-off: this one's from the Kernel API Manual, pulled out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... (yeah the path is truncated in the footer, that's just how it comes, don't @ me), and it's dated October 2026. periodt. 💅✨
