🧚 ice_find_netlist_node — Kernel API Manual, section 9 ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, it's on line one of the original, we're folding it in here 💅) and it's all about one little function that goes digging through a netlist. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_find_netlist_node -

ngl the original page literally leaves the description blank after the dash 😭 so there's nothing extra to tell you here, the name is the whole name, periodt.

💜 SYNOPSIS 💜

int ice_find_netlist_node (struct ice_hw *hw , u8 node_type , u8 ctx ,
u8 node_part_number , u16 *node_handle );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct. the main character of the whole operation 💅
  • node_type — type of netlist node to look for 🔍
  • ctx — context of the search
  • node_part_number — node part number to look for
  • node_handle — output parameter if node found — optional ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it do? It scans the netlist for a node handle of the given node type and part number. that's the whole vibe, no cap 🔥

And here's the important bit bestie, listen up 👂: if node_handle is non-NULL it will be modified on function exit. It is only valid if the function returns zero, and you should ignore it on any non-zero return value. like, don't even look at it 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 — the node is found 👑 slay
  • -ENOENT — no handle was found 💀
  • negative error code — failure to access the AQ 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_common.c — go read it, iykyk 📖

and literally the entire friend group of ice functions, in order, no skipping (there are SO many, we love a big family 🫶):

okay that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 💅✨
