ice_mailbox_init_regs(9)

💅 ice_mailbox_init_regs 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9, periodt). This page is literally about ice_mailbox_init_regs, and it’s giving “tiny function, very important prerequisites” energy. Slay.

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_mailbox_init_regs — Initialize Mailbox registers

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_mailbox_init_regs (struct ice_hw *hw );

That’s the whole signature, no cap. 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure

Just the one argument, bestie. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here’s the tea: this assumes the alloc_sq and alloc_rq functions have already been called.

That’s the prerequisite vibe, fr fr. Like, this function is assuming those two already happened, so keep that in mind. 💀
