get_affin_hwfn_idx(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ get_affin_hwfn_idx ✨

okay so we're reading the get_affin_hwfn_idx(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual β€” yes the actual kernel docs, we're fancy now πŸ’… don't worry, it's a short one, you got this 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

get_affin_hwfn_idx β€” literally just gets you the affine HW function ✨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

u8 get_affin_hwfn_idx (struct qed_dev *cdev );

bestie look at that signature, it's giving one argument, one return, zero drama πŸ’€


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • cdev β€” the Qed dev pointer 🐟 that's it, that's the whole argument list, iconic behaviour honestly

⭐ RETURN ⭐

u8. that's the whole answer πŸŽ€ it returns a u8, no cap, that's what it is 🌈


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

okay this is the part where the page goes absolutely feral with cross-references, so buckle up bestie 😭 you get the kernel file itself plus a whole friend group of related calls:

  • Kernel file ./include/linux/qed/qed_if.h πŸ“ (that's where the magic lives)

and then the icons themselves:

like, twenty-eight of them?? the way this one tiny function has the biggest social circle πŸ˜­πŸ’€ but honestly, go read them, they're all slaying in their own way πŸ‘‘


lowkey reminder: everything above is exactly what the page says β€” I'm not adding lore, I'm just hyping it up πŸ’–

and that's a wrap!! πŸŽ€ this page ships out of ./include/linux/qed in the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026 β€” mwah, go get that u8 bestie πŸ’œβœ¨πŸ¦‹
