💅 ice_get_auxiliary_drv(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — we're doing a lil deep dive on ice_get_auxiliary_drv today and honestly? it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_get_auxiliary_drv — the girl whose whole job is retrieving a iidc_rdma_core_auxiliary_drv struct 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct iidc_rdma_core_auxiliary_drv * ice_get_auxiliary_drv (struct
iidc_rdma_core_dev_info *cdev );

no cap, that's the whole signature 👑

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• cdev — a pointer to a iidc_rdma_core_dev_info struct. that's it, that's the whole argument list, she's lowkey low-maintenance 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the thing you NEED to know: this function has to be called with a device_lock held on cdev->adev.dev. that's not a suggestion, that's not a vibe, that's the rule — it's there to avoid race conditions 💀 literally do not skip the lock, bestie, we are not tempting fate today 🙈

---

💜 RETURN 💜

it returns a pointer to the matched auxiliary driver struct. slay 💅
