⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int iavf_setup_tc (struct net_device *netdev , enum tc_setup_type type ,

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • netdev — the network interface device structure. the whole device. your main character 🎀
  • type — type of offload. it's an enum tc_setup_type, so it knows what kinda situation it's in 💅
  • type_data — tc offload data. it's a void *, so it's giving mysterious, it's giving "figure it out yourself" 🙈

and the promise it makes to you: returns 0 on success ✨ that's the good ending. that's the one you want bestie 💖
