idpf_handle_event_link(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for idpf_handle_event_link — yes that's the manual name, yes it's a mouthful, no we're not renaming it, it's iconic as is ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

idpf_handle_event_link — Handle link event message 🦋

like, that's the whole vibe: a link event message shows up and this function handles it. she's a handler. it's giving customer service but for networking events 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void idpf_handle_event_link (struct idpf_adapter *adapter , const struct
virtchnl2_event *v2e );

not me pointing out that she returns void — no return value, no drama, she just does the thing and leaves 🫶 and yes the signature is exactly that, spacing and all, so copy it character for character if you're typing it out, iykyk

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — private data struct 💜 this is the struct idpf_adapter *, the home base, the main character of the whole operation
  • v2e — virtchnl event message 🌈 it's a const struct virtchnl2_event *, and it's const because we're looking respectfully, not touching 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this is the part where the page goes absolutely feral with references, and we are NOT skipping a single one, because every last one of these icons deserves their mention 👑

and before the list, the location tea:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_virtchnl.c 💖

now the full cast, in order, no cuts, no edits, no "etc." (i would never):

slow blink 😭 that's the whole friend group and they all ate. go read them if you want the full lore, fr fr 📚

lowkey a reminder: the only stuff on this page is the handler description, the two arguments, and the reference list. no hidden extras, no secret flags. what you see is what you get, no cap 💀

and that's the page, bestie 🎀 sign-off time: this one comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf, dated October 2026, and the manual name is idpf_handle_event_link(9) — go forth and handle those link events 👑💅
