✨ i40e_create_lan_hmc_object(9) ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual — i40e_create_lan_hmc_object, bestie. Buckle up 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

i40e_create_lan_hmc_object — allocate backing store for hmc objects

like, it literally goes and gets you the memory. main character energy for real 🔥

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int i40e_create_lan_hmc_object (struct i40e_hw *hw , struct
i40e_hmc_lan_create_obj_info *info );

copy it exactly, don't @ me 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. your hardware handle, the whole vibe check of the operation 🫶
• info — pointer to the i40e_hmc_create_obj_info struct. this is the little info packet telling it what's what ✨

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So what does it actually do? It allocates memory for PDs and backing pages, and then it populates the sd and pd entries. That's the whole thing. It's giving "setup crew" energy — nothing happens until this runs, no cap 🧚

ngl it's a short description but every word is doing work, so don't skim it 🙈
