π hinic_io_create_qps(9) β the Kernel API Manual moment π
okay bestie, gather round, because we're looking at a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "small function, big responsibilities." β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
hinic_io_create_qps β literally just Create Queue Pairs. that's the whole vibe. no cap. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int hinic_io_create_qps (struct hinic_func_to_io *func_to_io , u16
base_qpn , int num_qps , struct msix_entry *sq_msix_entries , struct
msix_entry *rq_msix_entries );
so we're returning an int, and we're taking five whole arguments. she's thorough. we respect that. π
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
func_to_ioβ the func to io channel that holds the IO components. like, this is the container of the whole situation, the main character holding all her IO bits together π«Άbase_qpnβ the base qp number. that's au16, bestie, so it's a number-number. π’num_qpsβ how many queue pairs we're creating. anint. the count. the amount. the quantity. πsq_msix_entriesβ the msix entries for sq. sq = send queue, and that's the tea βrq_msix_entriesβ the msix entries for rq. rq = receive queue. matching set, iconic pairing, we love to see it π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
okay so the description is short and honestly kind of blunt, but here's the whole thing:
- return
0β Success π you ate, no notes - return negative β Failure π it's giving "we don't talk about it"
ngl bestie, that's all the original gives us here β 0 means success and a negative value means failure. don't go inventing extra error codes, iykyk. π
π SEE ALSO π

and that's the page! π¦ source/version is the good ol' ./drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/... and it's dated October 2026 β so mark your calendars, she's a fall release π meanwhile the page itself is hinic_io_create_qps(9) and she served exactly what she needed to serve ππ§β¨
