💅 fm10k_iov_assign_resources_pf(9) — like, the whole Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to fm10k_iov_assign_resources_pf(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual 🎀 this one's a kernel function, she's a s32-returning icon, and honestly? she's giving "behind the scenes queen of SR-IOV" 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

fm10k_iov_assign_resources_pf — assigns pool resources for virtualization 🦋 like the name says, she's out here handing out the pool goodies so virtualization can actually happen.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 fm10k_iov_assign_resources_pf (struct fm10k_hw *hw , u16 num_vfs ,
       u16 num_pools );

that's it. that's the whole signature. s32 in, s32 out, three args in the middle — we love a tidy baddie 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🧚 your actual hardware, the main character she's configuring.
  • num_vfs — number of VFs to be allocated ⭐ "VF" = virtual functions, and this is literally how many of them get to exist. no cap.
  • num_pools — number of virtualization pools to be allocated 💖 how many pools we're divvying up. pools!! for virtualization!! iconic.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so what she does: she allocates queues and traffic classes to virtualization entities, and she does it to get the PF all prepped and pretty for SR-IOV and VMDq 🌈 that's the entire flex. queues: allocated. traffic classes: allocated. assigned to whom? the virtualization entities, bestie, keep up 😭 and the point of all that is preparing the PF — periodt. 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

it's giving "linked list of absolutely everyone she knows" and honestly respect, she has a lot of friends 🫶

the kernel file herself, first:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_pf.c

then the whole crew:

literally the entire group chat 😭 ily all

ngl bestie, that trailing (9) on every single one means man section 9 — kernel API stuff. iykyk 💜

k bye, this page came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... and she was dated October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under fm10k_iov_a...resources_pf(9) — yes the title gets truncated, she's mysterious like that 🙈 slay, go read the other pages, mwah 🍓💖
