i40e_queue_pair_enable_irq(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, so picture this: you're scrollin' through the Kernel API Manual and you land on i40e_queue_pair_enable_irq(9) and you're like "what does this even do" — and the answer is literally in the name: it Enables interrupts for a queue pair. that's the whole flex. no cap, that's the description, we love a self-explanatory icon 💅✨

so yeah. queue pair. interrupts. enabled. periodt 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the way it's spelled out, exactly:

void i40e_queue_pair_enable_irq (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , int queue_pair
);

returns void — nothing comes back, it's giving "i do the thing and i leave" 😌 (and yes, that stray line break before the ) is canon, we respect the formatting 💖)

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

two of them. both iconic. both documented with unmatched verbosity:

  • vsi — the docs say: vsi. and honestly? that's it. that's the whole description 🙈 it's a struct i40e_vsi * per the synopsis, and the page itself just calls it vsi — short, sweet, keeping it mysterious 💅
  • queue_pair — declared as an int up in the synopsis, and its description? queue_pair. the manpage really said "you already know, bestie" 🦋
ngl these one-word descriptions are highkey main character energy. the function is doing all the talking here 👑

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay so this is where it gets unhinged — the SEE ALSO section on this page is a whole group chat with 335 members and they all pulled up in (9) section. every single one, in order, no one left behind 🫶

first up, the home base — the kernel file this whole thing lives in: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c

and now... the squad. brace yourself 🍓:

and that's the entire roster — all 335, nobody benched, iykyk 😭🔥

💀 real talk though: this page only tells you it enables interrupts for a queue pair. it doesn't promise anything about when to call it, locking, return values, or error cases — there are literally none documented here, so don't come for me, that's just what the page says 🙈

that's the whole page bestie, you ate it up 💅 this little number shipped from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, version October 2026, and it's forever known as i40e_queue_pair_enable_irq(9) 🌈⭐ go forth and enable those interrupts, queen 👑💜
