💖 ice_sf_cfg_netdev(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — we're literally about to talk about ice_sf_cfg_netdev, and no cap, this one is a whole vibe. It's giving "the function that makes the netdev actually exist." 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_sf_cfg_netdev — Allocate, configure and register a netdev 🎀

Like, all three things. It allocates it, it configures it, and then it registers it. The full glow-up, start to finish. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_sf_cfg_netdev (struct ice_dynamic_port *dyn_port , struct
devlink_port *devlink_port );

It returns an int, it takes exactly two args, and that's the whole story, periodt. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dyn_port — the subfunction associated with the configured netdev 💜 (basically the dynamic port that this netdev is gonna belong to)
  • devlink_port — the subfunction devlink port that gets linked up with the netdev 🔗 (yes, they're being matched together, it's a whole thing, iykyk)

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉 — slay, we love a zero
  • negative value on failure 😭 — not the negative return bestie, but at least it tells you something went wrong
fr fr, check that return value. A negative number is your vibe check failing. 🙈
