i40e_asq_se...nd_atomic_v2(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for i40e_asq_send_command_atomic_v2 — the function whose whole thing is send command to Admin Queue. It’s giving “I handle the admin queue so you don’t have to” energy. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here’s the signature, and pls do not freelestyle it — copy it exactly, character for character, because accuracy is literally the moment:

int i40e_asq_send_command_atomic_v2 (struct i40e_hw *hw , struct
libie_aq_desc *desc , void *buff , u16 buff_size , struct
i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details , bool is_atomic_context , enum
libie_aq_err *aq_status );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Argument roll call, bestie ✨:

• hw — pointer to the hw struct
• desc — prefilled descriptor describing the command (non DMA mem)
• buff — buffer to use for indirect commands
• buff_size — size of buffer for indirect commands
• cmd_details — pointer to command details structure
• is_atomic_context — is the function called in an atomic context? (that’s literally the question, bestie)
• aq_status — pointer to Admin Queue status return value

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Here’s the tea: it acquires the lock and calls the main send command execution routine. Then it returns the last Admin Queue status in aq_status to avoid race conditions in access to hw->aq.asq_last_status. That’s the whole plot, no cap. 🫶
