💅 i40e_validate_num_queues(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for i40e_validate_num_queues, and it is exactly what it sounds like: the vibe check for how many queues you're allowed to have when a new channel is being set up. no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_validate_num_queues (struct i40e_pf *pf , int num_queues ,
struct i40e_vsi *vsi , bool *reconfig_rss );

that's the whole function sig, copied character for character because we do not play about accuracy in this house 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • pf — ptr to PF device. yes that's literally the description, it's a pointer to the PF device, that's the whole thing 🫶
  • num_queues — number of queues. the count. the amount. the queue-itude 💀
  • vsi — the parent VSI. it's the parent, give it some respect 👑
  • reconfig_rss — indicates should the RSS be reconfigured or not. grammatically unhinged, functionally clear 😭

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function validates number of queues in the context of new channel which is being established. that's the whole job, it's a bouncer at the door of the queue club checking if your queue count is even allowed in 🚪✨

and then! it also determines if RSS should be reconfigured or not for parent VSI. so it's doing double duty: validating the queue count and deciding the RSS reconfigure situation. main character energy fr fr 🔥

that's it. that's the function. no cap, nothing spicier than that 🍓
