💅 i40e_add_sd_table_entry(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is literally the page for i40e_add_sd_table_entry(9), and we're about to make segment descriptor table stuff make sense. no cap. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_add_sd_table_entry — adds a segment descriptor to the table. that's the function, and it ate. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole signature, bestie — copy it exact because we do not gatekeep:

int i40e_add_sd_table_entry (struct i40e_hw *hw , struct i40e_hmc_info *hmc_info , u32 sd_index , enum i40e_sd_entry_type type , u64 direct_mode_sz );

lowkey iconic. 🎀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so the cast of characters:

• hw — pointer to our hw struct. yes, our hw struct, main character energy. 💖
• hmc_info — pointer to the HMC configuration information struct. it's giving config lore, fr fr.
• sd_index — the segment descriptor index to manipulate. this is the one you're touching, periodt.
• type — what type of segment descriptor we're manipulating. no cap, you gotta know the type. 👑
• direct_mode_sz — size to alloc in direct mode. 🎀

mwah 💋 source/version check: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, date check: October 2026, and the page title is still i40e_add_sd_table_entry(9). bye bestie, go add those segment descriptors 🫶💜
