ice_alloc_prof_id(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this page is ice_alloc_prof_id(9), and it's literally about handing out profile IDs. no cap, it's a little allocation moment and it's giving main character energy ✨

💖 NAME 💖

ice_alloc_prof_id — allocate profile ID. that's the whole assignment, and it ate 🍓

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_alloc_prof_id (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_block blk , u8 *prof_id );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW struct. yes bestie, hand over the hardware struct pointer 🫶
• blk — the block to allocate the profile ID for. tell it which block we're doing this for 💅
• prof_id — pointer to variable to receive the profile ID. this is the lil mailbox where the new ID lands 💌

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

this function allocates a new profile ID, and that same ID also corresponds to a Field Vector (Extraction Sequence) entry. so yeah, it's giving allocation with a side of extraction-sequence realness 🔥
