ethtool_mmsv_set_mm(9)

✨ ethtool_mmsv_set_mm(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's a lil function from the kernel-doc girlies, and it's literally the set_mm() hook for MAC Merge Software Verification. yes the whole name is a mouthful, we're coping 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ethtool_mmsv_set_mm (struct ethtool_mmsv *mmsv , struct
       ethtool_mm_cfg *cfg );

that's the whole vibe: returns nothing (void), takes two pointers, done. slay 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mmsv — the MAC Merge Software Verification state, like, the whole situation for this thing 👑
• cfg — bestie this is a struct ethtool_mm_cfg, go look at that struct for the details, it's giving "see reference" iykyk

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍓: drivers are expected to call this from their ethtool_ops :: set_mm method. that's it, that's the whole job. no cap, that's the contract — you're the driver, you got a set_mm hook, this is what goes in there ✨

lowkey reminder: this page is just the hook contract — the actual behaviour lives in the driver + the mm.c code, so don't be out here guessing, go check 👀
