ice_devlink_..._sf_dev_port(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this page comes from the Kernel API Manual, and the header spells the page as ice_devlink_..._sf_dev_port(9) — but the actual function is ice_devlink_create_sf_dev_port, and yes she is iconic ✨

NAME 🎀

ice_devlink_create_sf_dev_port — register virtual port for a subfunction 🫶

SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_devlink_create_sf_dev_port (struct ice_sf_dev *sf_dev );

ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • sf_dev — the subfunction device to create a devlink port for. That's the one and only argument, bestie; no hidden extras, no cap.

DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the vibe: this function registers a virtual flavour devlink port for the subfunction auxiliary device created after activating a dynamically added devlink port. Literally that's the plot — virtual flavour devlink port registration for the subfunction auxiliary device, after the dynamic devlink port gets activated. Slay.

RETURN 🔥

zero on success, or an error code on failure. So: success = zero, failure = the error code. Periodt.
