✨ bnx2x_validate_vlan_mac_move ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the page is bnx2x_valida...lan_mac_move(9) — yes the header truncates it, that's just how the man pages do, don't come for them 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2x_validate_vlan_mac_move — literally just here to check if the MOVE command can actually be executed 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int bnx2x_validate_vlan_mac_move (struct bnx2x *bp , union
bnx2x_qable_obj *qo , struct bnx2x_exeq_elem *elem );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bp — the device handle, your main character device fr
• qo — the quable object we're checking (the source one 👀)
• elem — the element that needs to be moved, the whole reason we're here

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what it does: it checks that the requested configuration can be moved. That's the vibe check ✅

And if the answer is yes — and if it was requested — it returns a CAM credit. little treat for you 🍓

heads up bestie: the validate is run after the optimize. order matters, iykyk 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 💅✨

sign-off time: this lil icon comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... and it's dated October 2026 — future-core of them tbh 🦋 keep slaying, and remember: validate after optimize, periodt 💜
