dpni_set_pools(9)

💅 dpni_set_pools — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the dpni_set_pools(9) page, aka the glow-up manual for your DPNI's buffer pools ✨ (and yes it lives in the Kernel API Manual, we're fancy now).

---

✨ NAME ✨

dpni_set_pools — literally just Set buffer pools configuration. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int dpni_set_pools (struct fsl_mc_io *mc_io , u32 cmd_flags , u16 token
, const struct dpni_pools_cfg *cfg );

like, that's the signature, copy it exactly bestie, do not freestyle it 😭

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• mc_io — Pointer to MC portal's I/O object. your lil' handle to the party 🫶
• cmd_flags — Command flags; one or more of 'MC_CMD_FLAG_' (yes, that's the literal prefix, go look 'em up, iykyk)
• token — Token of DPNI object. it's giving VIP wristband 🎟️
• cfg — Buffer pools configuration. the actual content, the main character 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this one is mandatory for DPNI operation — no cap, you need it. 🔥

⚠️ warning: Allowed only when DPNI is disabled. like, do NOT try this while it's running, bestie, that's not the slay you think it is 💀

---

🧚 RETURN 🧚
