iavf_disable_channels(9)

💅 iavf_disable_channels — the kernel API manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is iavf_disable_channels(9), a kernel API manual page, and yes the whole thing is basically one function that politely asks the PF to turn the channels off. that's it. that's the tea. ☕✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

iavf_disable_channels —

(yes, the original literally just leaves a lil dash hanging there with nothing after it. we respect the dash. the dash is iconic. 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iavf_disable_channels (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

she's void, she takes exactly one pointer, and she's not returning anything to you. no notes. 💜

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the adapter structure, bestie. that's the whole argument. it's the struct, it's the vibe, it's the thing you pass in. 🎀

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the situation: this function puts in a request that the PF disable channels that are configured. that's the move. that's the entire assignment. you ask the PF, nicely, to go ahead and disable the channels that are already configured.

like it's giving "hey PF bestie, could you please disable the channels we've got configured" and that's literally it, no cap. 💅✨
