idpf_vport_alloc(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, idpf_vport_alloc is the function that allocates the next available struct vport in the adapter — and yes, this is idpf_vport_alloc(9) from the Kernel API Manual, we’re being so official rn 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct idpf_vport * idpf_vport_alloc (struct idpf_adapter *adapter ,
struct idpf_vport_max_q *max_q );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — board private structure
• max_q — vport max queue info

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so when it works, it returns a pointer to a vport on success. when it doesn’t, you get NULL on failure. that’s the whole vibe check, no extra lore 🌈
