fm10k_request_glort_range(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — fm10k_request_glort_range is here to request GLORTs for use in configuring rules. that's the whole gig. GLORTs, requested, rules get configured, slay ✨

This page lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving very specific-driver-function energy, which honestly? iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fm10k_request_glort_range (struct fm10k_intfc *interface );

yes that's it. one function, one argument, returns literally nothing (void, humble queen 👑). no cap, that's the entire signature — copy it exactly if you're typing it out, the spacing included, we don't editorialize in code blocks 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it do? this function allocates a range of glorts for this interface to use. that's the whole vibe. it goes and gets you a range of glorts, and hands them to this interface so the interface can do interface things with them.

the way that a driver needs a lil block of identifiers before it can go configure rules?? yeah. that's this. it's the setup step, the pre-game, the "let me grab my stuff first" moment 💅

lowkey important? yes. complicated? not really. it's one job and it does it. periodt.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• interface — the board private structure. that's the one thing you hand it. it's a struct fm10k_intfc * and it carries all the board-private goodies this function needs to do its range-grabbing. no extra params, no surprises, we love a single-argument king 🌈
