💅 bnx2x_validate_vlan_mac_del — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, we're deep in the kernel today — this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's called bnx2x_validate_vlan_mac_del(9), which honestly is a whole mouthful but we move. 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2x_validate_vlan_mac_del — it checks if the DEL command can be executed. that's it, that's the vibe check 🔥

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int bnx2x_validate_vlan_mac_del (struct bnx2x *bp , union
bnx2x_qable_obj *qo , struct bnx2x_exeq_elem *elem );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bp — the device handle, your main character 🔑
• qo — the quable object that we're checking, like literally the thing under inspection
• elem — the element that needs to be deleted, bye bestie 👋

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what it does: it checks that the requested configuration can be deleted. if yes — and only if it was requested — it returns a CAM credit. 💖

and the tea ☕: the 'validate' is run after the 'optimize'. not before. after. iykyk.
