📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 bnx2x_del_all_macs(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the bnx2x_del_all_macs page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual section 9, and honestly? it's giving "cleanup queen". she deletes stuff. that's her whole thing. 🧹✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2x_del_all_macs — delete all the MACs configured for the specific MAC object. yeah. all of them. no survivors. 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int bnx2x_del_all_macs (struct bnx2x *bp , struct bnx2x_vlan_mac_obj
*mac_obj , int mac_type , bool wait_for_comp );

like, look at her. four arguments, one very clear mission. 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • bp — the driver handle. your main character pointer. 🫶
  • mac_obj — the MAC object handle. this is the thing she's operating on, iykyk. 💅
  • mac_type — the type of the MACs to clear, and it's one of the BNX2X_XXX_MAC values. pick your fighter. ⭐
  • wait_for_comp — if it's 'true', she blocks until completion. so like, she waits. patiently. dramatically. 😭

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Deletes all MACs of the specific type — think ETH, UC list, all that good stuff. the way she just clears the whole list is honestly iconic. 🌈

Now, the returns, because this part matters bestie, don't skip it:

  • zero — the operation has successfully completed. slay. ✅
  • a positive value — the operation has been successfully scheduled (so, queued up, not done yet — still valid, still ate). 👑
  • a negative value — a requested operation has failed. 💀 not her best moment.

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x.h — go read it, it's literally right there. 📖
  • bnx2x_set_mac_one(9) — the sibling page. the add to her delete. the counterpart. ✨
lowkey a reminder that this is kernel API stuff, so the return-value distinctions above are the whole point — completed, scheduled, or failed. don't conflate them, bestie. 🫶

okay that's the whole page!! mwah 💖 this came from the source ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... and the date on it is October 2026, and yep, the page is bnx2x_del_all_macs(9) — go forth and delete your MACs responsibly 🦋🌸💜
