iavf_map_queues(9)

πŸ’… iavf_map_queues(9) β€” a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” yes we're in the deep end of the pool and honestly? iconic. this one's about iavf_map_queues, and it's short but she matters. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

iavf_map_queues β€” like, the function itself. that's the whole name. no subtitle, no extra lore, she simply exists πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iavf_map_queues (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

that's it. that's the whole signature. void return, one pointer in, no drama ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • adapter β€” the adapter structure. literally the whole thing, the main character of this story πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what she does: this is the function where you request that the PF map queues to interrupt vectors. that's the whole vibe. you're basically sliding into the PF's DMs like "hey bestie, could you please hook my queues up to some interrupt vectors, thanks ilysm" πŸ’–

and here's the little detail you cannot forget: misc causes, including admin queue, are always mapped to vector 0. always. no cap, no negotiation, vector 0 is where the miscellaneous stuff lives and she's not moving ✨

⚠️ read that again if you need to β€” misc causes and the admin queue, both, always vector 0. that's a promise, not a suggestion 😌

πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

buckle up bestie, this list is long β€” like group-chat-members long β€” but every single one of these gets a shoutout, no gatekeeping here πŸ’œ first, the file itself:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf/iavf_virtchnl.c

and now the whole squad, in order, exactly as listed:

like, that's the entire friend group and they all said hi πŸ§šπŸ’œ


πŸ“ tiny reminder that iavf_send_pf_msg(9) and friends are references, not extra arguments to this function β€” iavf_map_queues still only takes the one adapter pointer, don't get it twisted πŸ’…

🌈 the cute sign-off 🌈

this page lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf, dated October 2026, and it's iavf_map_queues(9) from the Kernel API Manual. go forth, map those queues, and remember: vector 0 is forever πŸ’–βœ¨πŸ‘‘
