ice_devlink_init_regions(9)

💅 ice_devlink_init_regions — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the ice_devlink_init_regions (9) page, straight outta the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a shortie but she's important, so let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_devlink_init_regions — Initialize devlink regions 💖

literally what it says on the tin: she initializes the devlink regions. periodt.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void ice_devlink_init_regions (struct ice_pf *pf );

no return value, no drama, just vibes and a void 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pf — the PF device structure 👑 this is the one and only thing you hand her, and it's the physical function device struct, iykyk.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea 🍓: this function creates the devlink regions, and those regions are the whole point — they're what lets you dump the contents of the flash memory on the device 🔥 so like, no regions, no flash dump. it's giving "plumbing but make it iconic." main character energy for real.

so many siblings, bestie 😭 — she's part of a whole friend group:

ngl, quick vibe check: she's the init one — her counterpart ice_devlink_destroy_regions(9) is down there at the end of the list, so remember the cleanup exists before you go creating things 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie — no cap, that's genuinely all she wrote 🧚

💜 cute lil sign-off: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (truncated in the original footer, so that's exactly how we're leaving it, don't come for me 😭), and it's dated October 2026 ⭐ slay, see you in the next one 🎀
