ioctl_send_fib(9)

💅 ioctl_send_fib — bestie's guide to the 9 kernel API manual ✨

okay so real talk, this one's a kernel API page (9, iykyk) and the whole vibe is: let userspace yeet a FIB at the adapter. that's it, that's the page. but like, we're gonna do it right 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ioctl_send_fib — send a FIB from userspace

literally the entire point. a FIB, from userspace. no cap 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ioctl_send_fib (struct aac_dev * dev , void __user *arg );

that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, don't @ me 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the adapter that's being processed rn. like, this one, the one we're working on 👑
• arg — the arguments to the ioctl call. the lil payload that came in from userspace 🙈

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this routine sends a fib to the adapter on behalf of a user level program. that's the whole thing bestie — userspace asks, this routine delivers, the adapter receives. main character energy for a kernel function ngl ⭐

it's giving "middle management" but make it kernel: the userspace program doesn't talk to the adapter directly, this function does the introductions 💅
