📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 bnx2x_vlan_mac_get_registry_elem — from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, bestie

okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page, section 9, and the star of the show is bnx2x_vlan_mac_get_registry_elem. she's giving main character energy and she's here to prepare a registry element. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2x_vlan_mac_get_registry_elem — literally just prepare a registry element. no cap, that's the entire job description. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bnx2x_vlan_mac_get_registry_elem (struct bnx2x *bp , struct
       bnx2x_vlan_mac_obj *o , struct bnx2x_exeq_elem *elem , bool restore ,
       struct bnx2x_vlan_mac_registry_elem **re );

she takes five things and hands you back an int. iconic. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • bp — the device handle. your whole device situation lives here, bestie 🖥️
  • o — the vlan object. yes, her name is literally one letter. she's that girl.
  • elem — the element. the thing being element-y about.
  • restore — "to restore or not" — it's a bool, so it's giving restore or not restore, no in-between 💀
  • re — the registry. it's a struct bnx2x_vlan_mac_registry_elem **, so it's a pointer-to-pointer, so it's fancy like that ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so what does she actually do? she prepares a registry element according to the current command request. that's the lore. that's the whole plot. she looks at whatever command is currently being requested and she preps a registry element to match it. lowkey elegant, highkey doing exactly one thing and doing it well. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

you want the whole friend group? okay bestie, buckle up, because this is a long group chat and everybody's here. Kernel file: ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_sp.c

literally the whole extended family showed up to the function. iykyk. 🙈

💀 real talk though: this page is auto-generated kernel API documentation, so if you're here looking for lore beyond "prepare a registry element according to the current command request", that's genuinely all she wrote. don't go reading extra behaviour into it, bestie. 🍓

and that's the page! 🧚 source file is ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... (yes it's truncated in the footer, don't come for me) and the date on this bad boy is October 2026. mwah, bye bestie 💜🌷
