iavf_virtchnl_send_ptp_cmd(9)

💅 iavf_virtchnl_send_ptp_cmd — send one queued PTP command ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's literally about pushing a single PTP command out the door. it's giving "tiny function, big job" energy 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iavf_virtchnl_send_ptp_cmd (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

like, that's the whole signature. no return value, no drama. void and unbothered 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the adapter private structure. that's it, that's the one thing you hand it. your whole little adapter world in a pointer 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it actually do? two things, and honestly it ate:

• it de-queues one PTP command request and sends that command message on over to the PF. one at a time, no cap 🚀
• then it clears IAVF_FLAG_AQ_SEND_PTP_CMD if there are no more messages left to send. like, once the queue's empty the flag gets packed up and goes home 🧹

that's the whole vibe check. de-queue one, send it, and if that was the last one, drop the flag. iconic behavior, fr fr 🌟
