📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 iavf_init_send_supported_rxdids ✨

okay so real talk, bestie, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and the header it's filed under is literally iavf_init_s...orted_rxdids(9) — yes it's chopped in the middle like that, don't come for me, that's just how the header prints 💀 It's the man page for one lil function out of the whole iavf extended universe: iavf_init_send_supported_rxdids. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

iavf_init_send_supported_rxdids — part of querying for supported RXDID formats. That's the whole vibe. It's a supporting character in the RXDID-format-querying storyline, not the main character 😌

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void iavf_init_send_supported_rxdids (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — board private structure. Yup, that's the one and only thing you hand it 💅

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So here's the tea: this function processes send of the request for supported RXDIDs to the PF. That's its whole job. It's handling the send side of that request. Iconic, focused, no notes 🔥

But here's the part you can NOT skip, and I mean it — it must clear IAVF_EXTENDED_CAP_RECV_RXDID if the message is not sent, for example when the PF isn't negotiating VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_RX_FLEX_DESC. Like, "must" must. Not "should", not "if you feel like it". The flag gets cleared in the not-sent case, periodt. 🫡

⚠️ fr fr, do not sleep on that IAVF_EXTENDED_CAP_RECV_RXDID clear. If no message goes out — say the PF ghosted you on VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_RX_FLEX_DESC — that capability bit still has to get cleared. That's the actual contract of this function, bestie. 💀

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for — the full cameo list. Every single one. I did not skip a single name, I would never do that to you 🫶

that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left zero crumbs 💅✨
