💅 ice_aq_upload_section — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💅

okay so this page is like,, the manual page for ice_aq_upload_section from the Kernel API Manual, and if you're here it's giving "I'm deep in the Intel ice driver and I need answers" energy. Let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_aq_upload_section — literally the name, that's it, the manpage doesn't even give a one-liner for this one 🙈 (not me noticing the empty description, ngl it's kind of iconic)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_aq_upload_section (struct ice_hw *hw , struct ice_buf_hdr
*pkg_buf , u16 buf_size , struct ice_sq_cd *cd );

that's the whole signature bestie, keep it in your notes 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

so here's the vibe check on each parameter:

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. yes, THE hardware struct, the main character 👑
  • pkg_buf — the package buffer which will receive the section. it's the one catching the section, lowkey a big deal 🦋
  • buf_size — the size of the package buffer. an actual u16, so, y'know, keep it in range 💀
  • cd — pointer to command details structure or NULL. yes NULL is allowed, she's flexible ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Upload Section (0x0C41) — there it is, the opcode, the moment, the whole thing. 0x0C41, memorise it or at least screenshot it 📸
