💖 fm10k_mbx_create_error_msg(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the "make it an error message" girlie of the fm10k mailbox world. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_mbx_create_error_msg — Generate an error message 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void fm10k_mbx_create_error_msg (struct fm10k_mbx_info *mbx , s32 err );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • mbx — pointer to mailbox. yes queen, hand her the mailbox 🫶
  • err — the local error encountered. the messy part, ngl 😭

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what this function does is take the error you gave it in err and interpret it — like, actually read the room — and based on what that error is, it may shift the message by 1 DWORD and then place an error header at the start of the message. that's it, that's the whole vibe. shifting, then headering. iconic behavior fr fr ✨

lowkey important: it may shift by 1 DWORD — that's conditional on what err says, so don't go assuming it always slides over 👀
