💅 devl_rate_leaf_create(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is devl_rate_leaf_create, and no cap, it's a whole little vibe: it makes a devlink rate leaf. that's it. that's the function. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int devl_rate_leaf_create (struct devlink_port *devlink_port , void
*priv , struct devlink_rate *parent );

like, literally the signature, untouched, i would never 😌

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • devlink_port — the devlink port object you're creating the rate object on. it's giving home base, it's giving main character energy 👑
  • priv — driver private data. your own little stash of stuff, the kernel just holds onto it for you 🫶
  • parent — a parent struct devlink_rate. yes bestie, family tree energy, we love a hierarchy 🌈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it actually do? it creates a devlink rate object of type leaf on the provided devlink_port. that's the whole thing. leaf. created. slay 💅

think of it like the little leaf at the end of the branch — the parent hangs out above, and this one's down here doing its leaf thing 🍓
