hwrm_req_send_silent(9)

💖 hwrm_req_send_silent (9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, we're deep in the kernel docs rn and this one is a whole mood: it's hwrm_req_send but quiet. Like, the request goes out but nobody's journaling about it. iykyk 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

hwrm_req_send_silent — literally the silent version of hwrm_req_send(). no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🤫

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int hwrm_req_send_silent (struct bnxt *bp , void *req );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bp — the driver context, aka the whole situation. 🫶
• req — the request you're sending, but like... without logging. stealth mode. 🙈

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so it's exactly the same as hwrm_req_send, bestie, with one tiny twist: the request gets silenced using hwrm_req_silence right before the call. that's it. that's the tea. 🍓

and the reason this function even exists? not me finding out it's provided solely to preserve the legacy API's flavor for this functionality 😭 like yes, keep the old flavor alive, we love a nostalgic king.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns a result code — go check hwrm_req_send for the deets, it's the same energy. 👑
