✨ SYNOPSIS

void bnx2x_shrink_eth_fp (struct bnx2x *bp , int delta );

like literally that's the whole call. void return, so nothing comes back at you — it just Does The Thing and dips. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS

• bp — the driver handle. your little bnx2x bestie. hold it gently. 🎀
• delta — the number of eth queues which were not allocated. yes, the un-allocated ones. that's the whole vibe. 😭

okay that's the page!! mwah 💖 this lil gem is from the Kernel API Manual, source/version line reads ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco...
