fm10k_assign_rings(9)

🎀 fm10k_assign_rings 🎀

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's basically the matchmaker for rings and network devices 💖 no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_assign_rings — the function that maps rings to network devices 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fm10k_assign_rings (struct fm10k_intfc *interface );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• interface — the interface structure that's holding all the rings and devices. it's giving "everything bagel" — this one struct has both, bestie 💅

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the vibe: this function is meant to go through and configure the network devices so that they actually contain rings, and then configure the rings so they function with their network devices. it's a two-way situation, like a situationship but functional 😭🔥

both sides get set up. devices get their rings, rings get their devices, everyone's happy, nothing is left un-paired. periodt 👑
