i40e_bw_bytes_to_mbits(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 i40e_bw_bytes_to_mbits — Kernel API Manual, section 9 ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the i40e_bw_bytes_to_mbits(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes it's section 9, yes it's a kernel-function page, and yes we're gonna read it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_bw_bytes_to_mbits — Convert max_tx_rate from bytes to mbits 💫

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u64 i40e_bw_bytes_to_mbits (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , u64 max_tx_rate );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vsi — Pointer to vsi structure. it's literally just a pointer to the vsi struct, that's the whole vibe 🦋
  • max_tx_rate — max TX rate in bytes, and it's the one getting converted into Mbits. the bytes-to-mbits glow-up, if you will 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so the actual job? it's a helper function — and what it does is convert units before it gets sent off to set the BW limit. that's the entire plot. no plot twists, no hidden behaviour, just unit conversion doing its little main-character moment ⭐

like honestly it's giving "tiny function with one (1) responsibility" and we respect that 💖
