💖 irdma_form_uda_cm_frame(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is irdma_form_uda_cm_frame — pronounced "irdma form uda cm frame" and honestly it's giving "grab a free packet and build the whole tcpip frame out of it" energy. no cap, that's literally what it does. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

irdma_form_uda_cm_frame — bestie, this one goes and grabs a free packet and builds a frame that is a full tcpip packet. that's it, that's the vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct irdma_puda_buf * irdma_form_uda_cm_frame (struct irdma_cm_node
*cm_node , struct irdma_kmem_info *options , struct irdma_kmem_info *hdr
, struct irdma_mpa_priv_info *pdata , u8 flags );

like look at that return type — you get a whole struct irdma_puda_buf * back. iconic. 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • cm_node — the connection's node info that the frame is gonna use. this is the one carrying the ~context~, iykyk. 🧚
  • options — a pointer to the options info. yes, a pointer. we love a pointer. ✨
  • hdr — pointer to the mpa header. the mpa header is right there, being a header. 😭
  • pdata — pointer to the private data. lowkey the private data is minding its own business and we're just pointing at it. 🙈
  • flags — this bad boy indicates FIN or ACK. that's the whole job. pick your fighter. 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so the kernel file lives at ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/cm.c and honestly it has so many friends, we're doing the full group chat roll call, no one gets left on read: 💜

like, ninety-something cross-references?? she's popular. periodt. 🌈

bestie reminder: this is a kernel manpage in section 9, so if you're reading this at 3am while your driver won't connect, hydrate first, then read the cross-refs. 💀

and that's the whole page, fr fr — brought to you straight out of ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma, dated October 2026, and yes we're still calling it irdma_form_uda_cm_frame(9) in the footer too because consistency is a love language. slay, go build that frame. 🍓✨💖
