💖 ice_aq_wait_for_event(9): firmware said “brb” 💖

okay so bestie, this is the ice_aq_wait_for_event(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — manual name folded in right here, you’re welcome 💅 — and it’s all about waiting for an AdminQ event from firmware. main character energy, honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_aq_wait_for_event — Wait for an AdminQ event from firmware

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_aq_wait_for_event (struct ice_pf *pf , struct ice_aq_task *task
       , unsigned long timeout );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• pf — pointer to the PF private structure
• task — ptr prepared by ice_aq_prep_for_event
• timeout — how long to wait, in jiffies

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Waits for a specific AdminQ completion event on the ARQ for a given PF. The current thread will be put to sleep until the specified event occurs or until the given timeout is reached. literally the kernel version of refreshing your messages and hoping firmware replies 💀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

zero on success, or a negative error code on failure. periodt.
