dpsw_acl_prepare_entry_cfg(9)

💅 dpsw_acl_prepare_entry_cfg(9) — yes bestie, that's a section 9 kernel API page 🎀

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the little prep-step function you gotta run before you touch an ACL entry. tiny function, big main character energy. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

dpsw_acl_prepare_entry_cfg — setup an ACL entry, that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void dpsw_acl_prepare_entry_cfg (const struct dpsw_acl_key *key , u8
*entry_cfg_buf );

like, it returns void, it takes two things, and it's not here to be dramatic about it 💜

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• key — the key. that's it, that's the argument. it's a const struct dpsw_acl_key * and it's giving "the key" 🎀
• entry_cfg_buf — this one's lowkey important: it's zeroed 256 bytes of memory before you map it to DMA. not after. before. iykyk 🙈

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so the way this works: you have to call this function before adding or removing an acl_entry. not optional, not "if you feel like it" — it's a prerequisite, periodt 🔥

think of it as the vibe check your ACL entry has to pass before it gets to go anywhere 💅

🫶 friendly reminder bestie: that buffer needs to be zeroed 256 bytes of memory before mapping it to DMA. do not skip this step, i'm literally begging 😭
