irdma_alloc_local_mac_entry(9)

💖 NAME 💖

irdma_alloc_local_mac_entry — allocate a mac entry ✨

Hiii bestie 💖 you're looking at the Kernel API Manual entry for irdma_alloc_local_mac_entry(9), and it's literally about allocating a mac entry. Slay.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int irdma_alloc_local_mac_entry (struct irdma_pci_f *rf , u16
       *mac_tbl_idx );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Okay so there are two things you pass in, no cap:

• rf — RDMA PCI function.
• mac_tbl_idx — the index of the new mac address.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The way this works is: it allocates a mac address entry and updates mac_tbl_idx so it holds the index of the newly created mac address. It returns 0 if successful, otherwise it returns an error. Periodt 💅
