ice_fill_df...ect_cmd_desc(9)

🧊 NAME 🧊

ice_fill_dflt_direct_cmd_desc — bestie, it's the AQ descriptor helper function. That's the whole vibe. This is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (iykyk, kernel internals energy ✨).

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void ice_fill_dflt_direct_cmd_desc (struct libie_aq_desc *desc , u16 opcode );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• desc — a pointer to the temp descriptor, and no cap, it's non DMA mem so don't come at it with bus addresses 💅
• opcode — the opcode, which lowkey gets to decide which flags get turned off or turned on 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Fill the desc with default values. That's it, that's the whole job — it's giving "show up, do your one little task, slay" 🫶

Go read them, bestie. Not me gatekeeping kernel docs — go be the main character of your own control queue 💀💖
