int cxgb4_create_server (const struct net_device *dev , unsigned int

like, that's the whole signature, no cap — copy it exactly, we don't freestyle here 😭

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the device, fr fr. this is the const struct net_device * you're working with 💖
• stid — the server TID (unsigned int), iconic little identifier ✨
• sip — the local IP address to bind the server to (__be32) 👑
• sport — the server's TCP port (__be16) 🍓
• vlan — the VLAN header information (__be16), yes it's a __be16, don't come for me 🌸
• queue — the queue to direct messages from this server to (unsigned int) 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what it does: creates an IP server for the given port and address. That's the vibe.

Return value check, because this part lowkey matters: it returns <0 on error 😭 and one of the NET_XMIT_* values on success 🔥 periodt.
