ionic_adminq_post_wait(9)

💖 ionic_adminq_post_wait(9) 💖

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's giving "one little function that does a very specific thing" energy and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ionic_adminq_post_wait — post an admin command and wait for a response

like, that's the whole vibe. you post a command, you wait for the answer. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ionic_adminq_post_wait (struct ionic_lif *lif , struct ionic_admin_ctx *ctx );

okay literally just look at it. two arguments, one int coming back at you. we love a tidy signature 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• lif — the logical interface. that's your whole who-am-i of the network side of things, lowkey the main character here 👑
• ctx — the API admin command context. this is where the command lives and where its little story gets tracked 📓

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so here's the tea ☕ — this function posts the command to an admin queue in the ethernet driver.

and now the important part, bestie, because this is the one that trips people up: if this command succeeds, that only means the command has been posted. it does not indicate a completion. not even a little bit. 🙈

if this command returns success, then the completion callback will eventually be called. eventually. not now. not in a second. later. so don't go refreshing your notifications waiting for it, okay? the callback knows where to find you 💌

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

zero or negative error status.

that's it. that's the whole return. zero = yay, negative = nah. no in-between, we respect the binary 💀

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go check out the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensando/ionic/ionic_api.h — that's the mothership, the source of truth, the blueprint 💜

and then the whole friend group:

• struct ionic_aux_dev(9)
• struct ionic_admin_ctx(9)
• struct ionic_intr_info(9)
• ionic_error_to_errno(9)
• ionic_request_rdma_reset(9)
• ionic_intr_alloc(9)
• ionic_intr_free(9)
• ionic_get_cmb(9)
• ionic_put_cmb(9)

like a group chat where everyone actually answers. obsessed. 🧚✨

---

fr fr though — remember: success ≠ completion. the post went through, the callback is coming, and you gotta be patient. that's the entire lesson. 🍓

---

and that's a wrap, bestie!! this lil gem is brought to you by ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensand... — version info, date October 2026, and the name ionic_adminq_post_wait(9) living rent-free in the footer. slay, documented, periodt. 💖🎀🌟
