iavf_validate_num_queues(9)

💅 iavf_validate_num_queues — kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this one is a iavf function from the kernel API manual, and no cap, the NAME line is literally just the function name with nothing after the dash. iconic minimalist behavior honestly 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

iavf_validate_num_queues — that's it, that's the name. no extra little description, she's mysterious 💜

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iavf_validate_num_queues (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

like, she returns void, takes one pointer, and minds her own business. periodt ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the adapter structure, aka the main character of this whole situation 👑

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea: this function does a vibe check on the queue count 👀

It validates that the number of queues the PF has sent in VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_VF_RESOURCES is not larger than the VF can handle. That's the whole job. She's checking the PF isn't out here being extra and sending more queues than the VF can actually deal with. no cap, that's it 💅
