irdma_connect(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 irdma_connect(9) — the girlies' guide to Kernel API Manual energy 🌸

Okay so bestie, gather round, because today we're reading irdma_connect from the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> — yes that's the manual name, and yes I am going to make it cute. This is a kernel-level function, so hydrate, stretch, and let's get into it 💅✨

✨ NAME ✨

irdma_connect — the registered call that exists so a connection can get established, like, the whole "hey girl hey, we're connecting" moment 🫶

🔥 SYNOPSIS 🔥

int irdma_connect (struct iw_cm_id *cm_id , struct iw_cm_conn_param
*conn_param );

That's it, that's the whole vibe: it returns an int, it takes two pointers, and it is so serious about both of them 😌

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cm_id — the cm information for a passive connection. Bestie, say it with me: passive. That's the whole assignment for this parameter. 👑
  • conn_param — all the information about the connection itself. The details parameter. The receipts, if you will. 🧾
Ngl there's only two arguments here but they're both doing main character work, so don't sleep on them. 💖

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

First up: the kernel file, which lives at ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/cm.c — that's where the source lives, no cap. 📁

And now… the entire friend group. Yes, the whole group chat is getting tagged, because that's the energy this page is giving and we are not skipping one single soul 🌈:

Like, that is a lot of siblings, and every single one of them got an invite. Obsessed. 💀💖

Fr fr though — this is the entire SEE ALSO, bestie. Nobody got cut. Not one. 🌸

Okay and finally, the cute sign-off: this absolute icon of a page comes to you from ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma, stamped October 2026, and it answers to the name irdma_connect(9) — so if you ever need her again, that's the name to call 🎀✨💜
