enum iavf_status iavf_init_arq (struct iavf_hw *hw );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. literally the hardware struct pointer, no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is the main initialization routine for the Admin Receive (Event) Queue. Main character energy for ARQ setup, fr fr.

Before you call this function, drivers MUST set these fields in the hw->aq structure:

• hw->aq.num_asq_entries
• hw->aq.arq_buf_size

🚨 Do NOT hold the lock when calling this, bestie. The memory allocation routines called here are not going to be atomic context safe. Not me warning you twice. 💀
