📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ epf_ntb_epc_create_interface(9) ✨

okay so bestie, you're reading the Kernel API Manual — the actual grown-up kernel docs — and we're about to make a whole NTB EPC interface out of nothing. it's giving "networking but make it PCIe" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

epf_ntb_epc_create_interface — the one that creates and inits the NTB EPC interface 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int epf_ntb_epc_create_interface (struct epf_ntb *ntb , struct pci_epc
*epc , enum pci_epc_interface_type type );

like, that's the whole vibe. it returns an int, bestie. take it or leave it ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ntb — the NTB device that's out here facilitating communication between HOST1 and HOST2. yes, both of them. it's the main character that lets the two hosts talk 😭
  • epc — the struct pci_epc that a particular NTB interface should be associated with. so like, the one it gets matched up with 💖
  • type — which interface we're doing: PRIMARY interface or SECONDARY interface. choose ur fighter 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what actually happens? not me about to explain it: you allocate memory for the NTB EPC interface and then you initialize it. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic, honestly 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file, which lives right here:

./drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-ntb.c

and the rest of the squad — all of these are literally besties, go read them too 🫶

that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 💅

from ./drivers/pci/endpoint/functions, dated October 2026 — ily, go write some kernel code 🧚💖
