💅 fm10k_tlv_msg_parse(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for fm10k_tlv_msg_parse, and honestly? it's kind of a big deal. it's the first thing you call, the main character of message handling 🎀

---

🌸 NAME

fm10k_tlv_msg_parse — parses the message header and calls the function handler 💫

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

s32 fm10k_tlv_msg_parse (struct fm10k_hw *hw , u32 *msg , struct
       fm10k_mbx_info *mbx , const struct fm10k_msg_data *data );

like, look at that signature. gorgeous. no notes. 👑

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. the hardware. the actual vibes of the machine 💻
• msg — pointer to the message. the message in question, bestie 📨
• mbx — pointer to the mailbox information structure. yes it's a whole struct for the mailbox 📬
• data — pointer to the message handler data structure. where the handlers live 🗂️

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

okay so real talk: this function should be the first function called upon receiving a message. literally first. no skipping ahead 🙈

the handler will identify the message type and then call the correct handler for that given message. it's giving matchmaker energy, honestly — it looks at the message, figures out who its person is, and makes the introduction 🧚

and what does it give back? it will return the value from the function call on a recognized message type. but if the type is not recognized? it will return FM10K_NOT_IMPLEMENTED on an unrecognized type. no cap, that's the fallback 😭
