ice_init_prof_result_bm(9)

💅 ice_init_prof_result_bm(9) — like, the whole vibe check

Hey bestie 🫶 so this is ice_init_prof_result_bm from section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and yes we're doing this, it's gonna be iconic. It's a little kernel-side function living its best life in the Intel ice driver world ✨

---

🎀 NAME

ice_init_prof_result_bm — initializes the profile result index bitmap, no cap 💖

That's literally it. That's the whole job. It sets up the bitmap that holds profile result indexes, and honestly? Slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

void ice_init_prof_result_bm (struct ice_hw *hw );

Note that it returns void — so like, it's not giving you anything back, it just does the thing and moves on 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. That's the one (1) argument, she's carrying the whole function on her back 🫶 hand her your struct ice_hw * and she'll initialize that profile result index bitmap for you, periodt.

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ddp.c

💡 lowkey the whole package-handling saga is in that list — buffers, sections, segments, signing, downloads, locks — so if you ever get lost, just pick a name and read that page too. iykyk 🧚
