💅 i40e_nvmupd_check_wait_event — kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is i40e_nvmupd_check_wait_event(9) from the kernel API manual, and yes the title line got cut off mid-word in the header, we don't talk about it 🙈 — it's the function that handles NVM update operation events. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_nvmupd_check_wait_event — handle NVM update operation events. that's it, that's the whole job description, and honestly? it ate 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_nvmupd_check_wait_event (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 opcode ,
       struct libie_aq_desc *desc );

notice it returns void — no return value, no exit status, no little treat for you at the end. it just does the thing and dips 💀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

so here's what you're feeding it, bestie, three args, no more no less:

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. hi hardware 👋 this is your girl, she needs the pointer.
  • opcode — the event that just happened. like, the specific event. which one? whichever one just happened, that's the vibe check 🦋
  • desc — AdminQ descriptor. that's the descriptor, bestie, that's what it is. AdminQ. iconic name, no notes 👑

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

and here is the whole entire friend group, like the full group chat, nobody left on read 💖:

ngl the double-underscore ones (__i40e_read_nvm_word, __i40e_read_nvm_buffer) are giving "introverted but essential" energy. respect them. 🧚

and that's the page!! 🎀 big slay to the source, which lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and the date stamp on this beauty is October 2026 — so this manpage is basically from the future, main character energy fr fr 💜✨👑
