iavf_alloc_adminq_arq_ring(9)

💅 iavf_alloc_adminq_arq_ring(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, the iavf driver is doing its thing, and somebody's gotta allocate the Admin Queue receive rings. That's this function. That's the whole gig. It's giving "administrative assistant but make it silicon" 🎀

🦋 NAME

iavf_alloc_adminq_arq_ring — allocate the Admin Queue receive rings, no cap 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS

enum iavf_status iavf_alloc_adminq_arq_ring (struct iavf_hw *hw );

so it hands you back an enum iavf_status (y'know, the "did it work or did it not" enum), and it takes exactly one (1) argument. icon behavior, honestly ✨

👑 ARGUMENTS

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure 🫶 literally just a pointer to the struct iavf_hw, the hardware vibe itself. That's it. That's the argument.

ngl the whole ASQ/ARQ duo is a package deal — this page only covers the ARQ ring allocation, so don't go expecting the send-queue stuff here. it's in the list above for a reason 💀

and that's the page, bestie!! 🍓 brought to you by ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf, dated October 2026 — shoutout to the iavf squad, mwah, see you in the next manpage 💖✨🎀
