💅 bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings(9). no cap, it's a little one, but it matters 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings — literally the function that reflects a change of actor settings over to the ports 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void bond_3ad_update_ad_actor_settings (struct bonding *bond );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she's void, she's simple, she ate 🔥

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bond — the bonding struct we're gonna work on. your whole bond device, basically. the one getting the glow-up 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: if an ad_actor setting gets changed, we can't just leave the individual port settings sitting there being all outdated and embarrassing 😭. nope — we gotta update the individual port settings so that the bond device actually uses the new values when it gets upped. think of it as syncing the group chat so nobody's still quoting the old pinned message 🫶

the way that this is basically just making sure everyone's on the same page before the bond device goes live again. iconic behavior, honestly 👑

not me reminding you that this is about when it gets upped — like, the update happens now, the new values get used when it's upped. keep that energy ⭐
