💖 idpf_promiscuous_async_handler 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the idpf_promiscuous_async_handler(9) page — this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about that async callback life for promiscuous mode ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

idpf_promiscuous_async_handler — literally the async callback for promiscuous mode, no cap 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void idpf_promiscuous_async_handler (void *ctx , struct kvec *buff , int status );

there she is 👑 that's the whole function signature, keep it exactly like that fr fr

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • ctx — the controlq context structure 🫶 like, the whole vibe container for this call
  • buff — response buffer pointer and size, that's where the response data lives 💅
  • status — the async call return value, so you know how it went 😭

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the situation: nobody is waiting for the promiscuous virtchnl message response. like, literally no one 🙈 it's asynchronous, it's off doing its thing, and there's no bestie on the other end tapping their foot waiting for an answer.

so what does this handler do? it prints an error message if something went wrong and then returns. that's it, that's the whole gig 💀 simple, iconic, does exactly one job.

ngl if status is telling you something went bad, that error message is your only heads up — so pay attention to it 👀
