igbvf_alloc_queues(9)

💖 igbvf_alloc_queues — the "Kernel API Manual" era, section 9 bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (that's the kernel-API section, iykyk), and its whole personality is: one function, one job, all the rings get their memory. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

igbvf_alloc_queues — allocate memory for all the rings 🎀

like, every single one. all the rings. she's not picking favorites.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int igbvf_alloc_queues (struct igbvf_adapter *adapter );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. returns an int, takes one pointer, moves on with her life 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the board private structure you're initializing 🫶 this is the main character here, she needs to be ready to receive all that ring memory energy.

like, 43 whole besties. the way this driver has a bigger friend group than me 😭 iconic behavior fr fr 💀

lowkey a whole mood that this page keeps it short — no warnings, no error codes, no exit statuses on this one, just "allocate memory for all rings" and dip. she said minimalism ✨

and that's the tea, bestie 🍓 the source path over in the footer is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes it's truncated like that in the original, leave her alone 🙈), dated October 2026, and the page itself is igbvf_alloc_queues(9). that's a wrap, periodt 🧚💜
