💅 idpf_idc_rdma_vc_send_sync(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this one's a function page, specifically idpf_idc_rdma_vc_send_sync(9). she's a callback, she's a messenger, and she's lowkey the main character of the virtchnl world. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_idc_rdma_vc_send_sync — the virtchnl send callback for IDC registered drivers 🎀

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

here's the whole vibe, character for character:

int idpf_idc_rdma_vc_send_sync (struct iidc_rdma_core_dev_info
*cdev_info , u8 *send_msg , u16 msg_size , u8 *recv_msg , u16 *recv_len
);

she returns an int, and she takes five things. we'll go through them one by one because i need you to know what's happening 🌸

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • cdev_info — the IDC core device info pointer 🧚 that's your handle on the device, your little in-between, your backstage pass.
  • send_msg — the message you're sending out. 📨
  • msg_size — how big that message to send is, in case you were wondering (you were).
  • recv_msg — the message that gets populated on reception of the response 💌 like, this is where the answer lands.
  • recv_len — on input, this is the maximum response size; on success, it becomes the actual response size 😭 she's a two-job variable, she's doing both i fear.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, or an error code on failure. that's it, that's the whole return section. slay. 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

first up, the kernel file, exactly as written:

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

and now… the iconic friends-and-family section. this list is long and i'm obsessed. no cap, every single one:

like… ninety-something entries. she has friends. iykyk 💀💖

ok that's the whole page bestie, read it, love it, cite it 🌈

and a lil sign-off to match the footer: this one lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, she's from the future, which honestly tracks. periodt. 👑🎀
