💖 ice_parser_create_table (9) — Kernel API Manual vibes ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the group chat 💅 this lil function lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "table architect." let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_parser_create_table — create an item table from a section 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void * ice_parser_create_table (struct ice_hw *hw , u32 sect_type , u32
item_size , u32 length , void (*parse_item)(struct ice_hw *hw, u16 idx,
void *item, void *data, int size) , bool no_offset );

like yes she takes SIX things, she's a busy queen 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. the main character, the hardware itself 🖥️
  • sect_type — section type. which section we're pulling from, iykyk 🗂️
  • item_size — item size in bytes. gotta know how chunky each item is 📏
  • length — number of items in the table to create. how many lil guys are we fitting in here 🔢
  • parse_item — the function to parse the item. the callback that does the actual parsing work, periodt 🧚
  • no_offset — ignore header offset, calculate index from 0. so we're starting fresh from zero, no skipping 🙈

💜 RETURN 💜

a pointer to the allocated table or ERR_PTR. so like... either you get your table, or you get an error pointer dressed as one 😭 check it, bestie, always check it 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file where it all goes down 👑

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

and the whole extended fam, no cap, every single one 🫶:

lowkey that's a LOT of cross-references and every single one matters, so don't skip 'em 💀

and that's the whole page bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓
