bnx2x_update_drv_flags(9)

💅 bnx2x_update_drv_flags — the group chat lore

okay so bestie, this one's a function from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the bnx2x section, the Broadcom NIC corner of the kernel) and honestly? It's a tiny little glow-up helper. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2x_update_drv_flags — update flags in shmem 🎀

Like, that's it. That's the whole vibe. You're poking the driver flags that live in shared memory, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bnx2x_update_drv_flags (struct bnx2x *bp , u32 flags , u32 set );

Note that it returns void — this function gives you nothing back, it just does the thing and dips. main character energy fr fr. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bp — the driver handle 🫶. It's a struct bnx2x *, your all-access pass to the driver's world.
• flags — the flags to update ⭐. A u32, so pick your bits wisely.
• set — set or clear 💀. This is the little toggle that decides whether those flags get switched on or switched off. Choose carefully bestie, it's literally doing both jobs.

and the actual source home, iykyk:

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.h

heads up bestie 🙈 — the source line on the original page is hella truncated, it just says ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... so that's all the path intel you're getting from me, no inventing extra directories fr fr.

okay and finally, the cute little sign-off moment: this beauty comes to you from the kernel docs at ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco..., dated October 2026, rendered in the Kernel API Manual section — and yes, bnx2x_update_drv_flags(9) is the one appearing in the footer too, because she contains multitudes. 💖🎀🌸🦋👑
