💖 i40e_vsi_alloc_arrays(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes this is a real manual page, yes it's from the kernel, and yes we're gonna read it together like it's the group chat 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_vsi_alloc_arrays — literally the function that allocates the queue and vector pointer arrays for the vsi 💅 no cap, that's the whole job.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int i40e_vsi_alloc_arrays (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , bool alloc_qvectors );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vsi — the VSI pointer, aka the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • alloc_qvectors — a bool that says whether q_vectors actually need to be allocated. like, it's a yes/no vibe check on the q_vectors 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's how it goes down, and this part is important so don't skim it 🔥

  • On error: it returns an error code (negative 😭)
  • On success: it returns 0 ✨

that's it, that's the contract. negative = bad vibes, 0 = slay 💅

fr fr remember: negative means error, 0 means success. do not confuse them, i'm begging 🫶
