💖 i40e_aq_cfg_lldp_mib_change_event(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is straight out of the i40e driver and it's giving "one tiny function with a truly enormous friend group" energy, iykyk 🌸

🌈 NAME 🌈

i40e_aq_cfg_lldp_mib_change_event — ...and that's literally it, the manpage just leaves us on a dash 💀 no description, no crumb of context, just vibes. (The description is down in DESCRIPTION, don't worry, we get there 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_aq_cfg_lldp_mib_change_event (struct i40e_hw *hw , bool
enable_update , struct i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct, the main character of basically every function in this file 👑
  • enable_update — Enable or Disable event posting. like, that's the whole switch, you either want the events or you don't, no in-between 🦋
  • cmd_details — pointer to command details structure or NULL (yes bestie, NULL is a totally valid move here)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Enable or Disable posting of an event on ARQ when the LLDP MIB associated with the interface changes.

That's it, that's the whole function 🎯 you flip enable_update and the firmware either starts yelling at you on the ARQ when the LLDP MIB for that interface changes, or it stops. Quiet or loud. Slay. 🔥

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

first up, the actual kernel file it lives in — no cap, this is home base:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_common.c

and now the entire extended friend group 😭 literally the whole i40e roster, in order, all present and accounted for:

🦋 okay that's the whole thing, go read some source bestie, ily 🫶
