💖 NAME 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 fm10k_iov_msg_queue_mac_vlan (struct fm10k_hw *hw , u32 **results ,
struct fm10k_mbx_info *mbx );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure 🖥️ (yes, the actual hardware vibes)
• results — pointer array to the message; results[0] is the pointer to the message, iykyk 👑
• mbx — pointer to the mailbox information structure 📬

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so listen — this function is a custom handler for MAC/VLAN requests from the VF. The whole assumption here is that it's totally acceptable to directly hand off the message from the VF straight to the PF's switch manager, no middleman needed 🫶

But — and this is the main character detail — we use a MAC/VLAN message queue so we don't overload the mailbox when a large number of requests come in. Like, when the requests start flooding in, that queue is literally doing the most to keep things chill 💖✨

ngl bestie, if a big batch of MAC/VLAN requests hits, the message queue is the whole reason the mailbox doesn't absolutely fold 💀
