💅 bnx2x_send_unload_req(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes, that's the manual name, and yes it's giving "official business" energy, but we're gonna get through this together. This one's a little baby function in the bnx2x driver family, and honestly? She's short, she's sweet, and she's the designated messenger between the driver and the MCP. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2x_send_unload_req — literally just requesting the unload mode from the MCP. that's her whole job. no cap. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 bnx2x_send_unload_req (struct bnx2x *bp , int unload_mode );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bp — the driver handle. your main character pointer. 🫶
• unload_mode — the requested function's unload mode. you're telling her what vibe you're going for. 💅

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what does she actually do? She returns the unload mode that the MCP hands back to you, and that answer is gonna be one of exactly three things: COMMON, PORT, or FUNC. that's it. that's the whole function. short queen behavior, we love to see it. 👑

like, the way she just asks and reports back? iconic. no extra drama, no side quests, just a straight answer from the MCP. ⭐

and that's the page!! before you go — cute little sign-off: this one came from the source/version line ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... (yes, it's truncated with the little ellipsis, that's just how the footer rolls 🙈) and it's dated October 2026. so, vintage. 💀✨ bye bestie, go unload something responsibly! 🍓🧚
