irdma_alloc_node(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, gather round — this is irdma_alloc_node from the Kernel API Manual, and what it does is literally right there in the name: it allocates a WS node and inits it. that's the whole vibe. allocate + init. slay. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct irdma_ws_node * irdma_alloc_node (struct irdma_sc_vsi *vsi , u8
user_pri , enum irdma_ws_node_type node_type , struct irdma_ws_node
*parent );

no cap, that's the whole signature — copied exactly, character for character, because we do not mess with function signatures in this group chat. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• vsi — the vsi pointer. yes, that's the description, and yes, it's giving "the manual is a woman of few words," but it's what we have. 💅
• user_pri — the user priority. it's a u8, so keep it cute and keep it small.
• node_type — the type of node, bestie: leaf or parent. that's the vibe check right there. 🌿
• parent — the parent node pointer. every node needs a mother, iykyk. 👑
