ibmvmc_process_open_resp(9)

💅 ibmvmc_process_open_resp — Process Open Response 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (ibmvmc_process_open_resp(9)), and bestie it is so niche but honestly kind of iconic. sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ibmvmc_process_open_resp — literally processes the Open Response. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ibmvmc_process_open_resp (struct ibmvmc_crq_msg *crq , struct
       crq_server_adapter *adapter );

returns nothing (void), takes two things, does its little job. main character energy, zero drama. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• crq — an ibmvmc_crq_msg struct. yes queen, the message itself 💌
• adapter — a crq_server_adapter struct. the adapter bestie that's along for the ride 🧚

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so picture this: the hypervisor sends this command back at you as a response to the Interface Open message. like, you slid into its DMs with Interface Open and this is the read receipt 💀✨

and when this message arrives? the indicated buffer is, and I quote, again available for management partition use. like the buffer was out living its life and now it's back and ready to be used. slay. 💅
