💖 fm10k_sm_mbx_create_data_hdr(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a tiny little cutie from the Linux kernel docs, and honestly? she's short but she serves. like, main character energy in three lines. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_sm_mbx_create_data_hdr — Generate a mailbox header for local FIFO 🌸

like, that's literally her whole job. she makes the header. for the local FIFO. that's the vibe check and she passed 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void fm10k_sm_mbx_create_data_hdr (struct fm10k_mbx_info *mbx );

note the void — she returns nothing, no cap, she's not here to give you a value back, she's here to do the thing 😌✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • mbx — pointer to mailbox 🍓 that's it. that's the whole argument list. one (1) pointer, and it points at your mailbox. iconic behaviour tbh.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so boom 💥 — this function returns a data mailbox header.

that's it. that's the whole description. no cap, no fine print, no secret chapter. it's giving "short and sweet" and honestly I'm obsessed 😭💖

like, if you were expecting a whole saga — the lore, the backstory, the dramatic reveal — nope! she said "I said what I said" and dipped. respect. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay bestie, buckle up, because this list is long — genuinely the whole friend group showed up to the function. fr fr, every single one of these has a (9) section and they're all here, no gatekeeping:

the fifo girlies 🧚

the mbx math squad 🔥

the copy/paste besties 📋

the crc clique 🧮

the ready/tx/rx crew 📡

the header makers 🎀 (yes, our girl is in here too — she's on her own SEE ALSO list and honestly? self-love 💖)

the state machine girlies ⚙️

the sm_mbx extended universe 🦋 (ours is an fm10k_sm_mbx moment, so of course the whole sub-family is here)

and the source herself 👑 — the kernel file:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_mbx.c
💀 heads up bestie: this page is generated from the kernel docs, so the references above are exactly what she lists — don't go inventing extras, iykyk 🙈

🌸 the sign-off 🌸

and that's the whole page!! she's from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... (yes, the source line gets all truncated and mysterious, very "no thoughts head empty" of it), dated October 2026 📅, and she goes by fm10k_sm_mbx...ate_data_hdr(9) on the footer too. the drama of the ellipsis!! 😭

anyway bestie, that's the manual page, fully intact, not one detail lost. slay 💅✨🎀🫶
