💖 idpf_vport_init_num_qs(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ today's main character is idpf_vport_init_num_qs, and yes she's a function from the kernel docs, and yes she's here to figure out how many queues a vport gets. it's giving "setup era" 🎀 lowkey crucial, ngl.

🌸 NAME 🌸

idpf_vport_init_num_qs — Initialize number of queues 🦋

like, literally, that's her whole job. she initializes the number of queues. periodt. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void idpf_vport_init_num_qs (struct idpf_vport *vport , struct
     virtchnl2_create_vport *vport_msg , struct idpf_q_vec_rsrc *rsrc );

she returns nothing (void, no cap, she's not giving you a return value 💀) and she takes three things. let's meet them 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vport — the vport whose queues we're initializing 💅 this is the one getting the glow-up.
  • vport_msg — data to be filled into vport ✨ so this bad boy is the payload that gets poured into the vport. it's giving "fill me in" energy.
  • rsrc — pointer to queue and vector resources 🌈 your queue stash and your vector stash, all in one pointer. iconic container behaviour.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the source file she lives in (iykyk 👀):

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_txrx.c

and now the whole extended friend group — every single one, no skipping, we don't do that here 💖:

bestie that is a whole contact list and she knows every single one 💀🔥 respect the networking.

no warnings, no gotchas, no "deprecated don't touch" drama in this one — she's a plain little setup function and she's thriving. 💜

and that's the page!! 🧚 this legendary little doc came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf in October 2026, and the header up top is the Kernel API Manual one bestie, so you already know it's official ✨ mwah, go init some queues 💋🎀
