💅 iavf_mac_change_done — a Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for iavf_mac_change_done(9). this one's short and sweet, so buckle up 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

iavf_mac_change_done — check if the MAC change finished, yes or no, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool iavf_mac_change_done (struct iavf_adapter *adapter , const void
*data , enum virtchnl_ops v_op );

it returns a bool, so you already know it's giving yes/no energy 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the board private structure. your whole board's personal little diary, basically 🫶
  • data — the MAC address being checked, and it comes in as a const void * (so like, don't touch it, it's const, respect the boundaries bestie 😭)
  • v_op — the virtchnl opcode from the processed message. receipts from whatever message just got processed ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this is a callback for iavf_poll_virtchnl_response, and its entire job is to check if the MAC change completed. that's it. that's the function. small but iconic 💖

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • true if the MAC change completed 💚
  • false otherwise 🙈

no in-between, no "maybe", no "it's complicated". periodt.
