iavf_send_vf_config_msg(9)

💅 iavf_send_vf_config_msg(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so welcome to the function page, we're getting into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

iavf_send_vf_config_msg — the original page literally has no description here, so bestie, we're working with the vibes and the vibes say: it's the "hey PF, here's my config" function 💌 (iykyk)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iavf_send_vf_config_msg (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — the adapter structure, she's the main character here 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what this does: it sends a VF configuration request admin queue message to the PF. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

but here's the thing — the reply is not checked in this function. like, she sends the message and does not wait around to see if anybody texted back 😭 not her problem, not her job.

what she does return:

• 0 if the message was successfully sent 🎉
• or one of the IAVF_ADMIN_QUEUE_ERROR_ statuses if it was not 💀

so yeah, no cap, you gotta check the reply yourself somewhere else. this function is just the sender, not the reader ✨
