i40e_queue_pair_enable(9)

🌸 i40e_queue_pair_enable — the manual 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for i40e_queue_pair_enable(9). Yes, that's the manual name, it's giving "kernel API manual" and honestly? iconic. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_queue_pair_enable — enables a queue pair. that's the entire name section. short, sweet, slayed. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int i40e_queue_pair_enable (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , int queue_pair );

look at her. one function, two arguments, zero notes. main character energy fr fr. 🔥

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• vsi — vsi. that's the description. that's literally the whole description. the docs said vsi and I'm not gonna invent lore, so here we are 😭
• queue_pair — queue pair. same situation bestie. it's a queue pair. that's the tea. 🫖

ngl the original docs were lowkey mysterious here — they gave us the names and dipped. we respect it, we don't make stuff up. periodt. 💀

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Here's the whole vibe: returns 0 on success, <0 on failure. ✨

so like — 0 means slay, we ate, she works. anything <0 means it did not go off, something's wrong, and you should look at that negative number like it personally wronged you. 🔥

no cap, that's it. that's the description. the function enables a queue pair, and it tells you how it went with a return value. simple, clean, iykyk. 💜

okay that's the whole page bestie, and before you go — the source/version corner of this page is living at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e and it's dated October 2026, which is so fetch. mwah, go enable some queue pairs, you absolute icon 💖🎀🦋💅✨
