okay so bestie, welcome to the hinic_hwdev_msix_cnt_set(9) page π
this is a kernel API manual (that's the manual name, iykyk β it's living in section 9 with all the other kernel-API girlies), and it's literally about clearing message attribute counters for an msix entry. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int hinic_hwdev_msix_cnt_set (struct hinic_hwdev *hwdev , u16 msix_index );
like, that's the whole signature. two args, one int coming back at you. no cap π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
hwdevβ the NIC HW device π like, the actual hardware device struct you're handing over. she's the main character here.msix_indexβmsix_indexβ¨ yes bestie, the parameter is literally just named after itself. the msix index. that's it. that's the whole description. iconic honestly.
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea: it returns 0 for Success, and a negative value for Failure. that's it. that's the description. short and honest, we love a low-effort legend π§
β οΈ heads up: negative means it did not slay. don't go treating a negative return like a success, fr fr π
π SEE ALSO π
the source lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/hinic/hinic_hw_dev.c β that's the mothership, go look at her if you want the real lore π
and here's the whole friend group, all of them cross-referenced, not a single one left out π
