🧊 ice_alloc_dynamic_port(9) 🧊

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this page is all about ice_alloc_dynamic_port, and it's giving "new dynamic port just dropped" energy ✨. No cap, it's short and sweet, so let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_alloc_dynamic_port — allocate new dynamic port 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the signature, verbatim, because we do not mess with code 🫶:

int ice_alloc_dynamic_port (struct ice_pf *pf , const struct
       devlink_port_new_attrs *new_attr , struct netlink_ext_ack *extack ,
       struct devlink_port **devlink_port );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pf — pointer to the pf structure ✨
• new_attr — devlink port attributes requested 🦋
• extack — extack for reporting error messages 😭
• devlink_port — index of newly created devlink port 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Allocate a new dynamic port instance and prepare it for configuration with devlink 🌈. That's the whole mission, and it ate 💅.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns zero on success or an error code on failure 💀. That's it — no mystery, no plot twist.
