💅 devl_rate_node_create(9) — from the Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay bestie, buckle up, because today we're meeting devl_rate_node_create — yes that's the whole kernel-side name, she's extra like that ✨ and her whole job is literally create devlink rate node. iconic behaviour, no notes 💅

✨ NAME ✨

devl_rate_node_create — create devlink rate node 🦋

like. that's her. that's the whole vibe check and she passed 🌸

---

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

struct devlink_rate * devl_rate_node_create (struct devlink *devlink ,
void *priv , char *node_name , struct devlink_rate *parent );

yep, she takes four things and hands you back a struct devlink_rate * — literally the main character of this function 💖

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• devlink — the devlink instance, obviously 💫 she's the one hosting this whole situation
• priv — driver private data, aka the driver's own little stash of stuff 🍓
• node_name — name of the resulting node! yeah, the name of the node that results, we love a descriptive queen 👑
• parent — parent devlink_rate struct — everyone's got a parent bestie, no cap 🧚

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so like, the actual tea: this function creates a devlink rate object of type node ✨ that's it, that's the whole thing, and honestly? she ate 💀 not me being obsessed with a one-line description but here we are 🙈

ngl if you came here looking for a big dramatic backstory there isn't one — the kernel said "create devlink rate object of type node" and then went to get a matcha 🍵
