fm10k_queue_mac_request(9)

💖 fm10k_queue_mac_request(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that Kernel API Manual — and it's all about fm10k_queue_mac_request, which is genuinely one of those little functions that just does its job and doesn't need a whole personality. but we're giving it one anyway 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_queue_mac_request — queue a MAC update request 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int fm10k_queue_mac_request (struct fm10k_intfc *interface , u16 glort ,
const unsigned char *addr , u16 vid , bool set );

like, that's the whole vibe check right there 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• interface — the fm10k interface structure. this is the main character, the context of everything 🫶
• glort — the target glort for this update. it's a u16, it's important, don't sleep on it ⭐
• addr — the address to update. it's a const unsigned char *, so like, you're not gonna be out here editing it ✨
• vid — the vid to update. also a u16, also iconic 💜
• set — whether to add or remove. it's a bool, so it's giving simple, it's giving decisive, love that for you 💅

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea, bestie: this function queues up a MAC request for sending to the switch manager. that's the whole job. it slides your request into the queue and lets somebody else handle the actual sending 😌

and who's that somebody? a separate thread. not this function, not you — a whole other thread monitors the queue and sends updates to the switch manager. so like, this is very much a "drop it off and go" situation, no cap 🧚

return values, because we always check them:

• 0 — success, we ate, periodt 🎀
• negative error code — failure, and yes it's a negative error code specifically, not just "an error", so pay attention 🙈
