irdma_ieq_create_pbufl(9)

💅 irdma_ieq_create_pbufl — or, as we call it in the group chat, irdma_ieq_create_pbufl(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's a function page, and honestly? it's giving "small but crucial." 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

irdma_ieq_create_pbufl — create buffer list for single fpdu 🦋

that's it, that's the whole vibe. one fpdu, one buffer list, no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int irdma_ieq_create_pbufl (struct irdma_pfpdu *pfpdu , struct list_head
*rxlist , struct list_head *pbufl , struct irdma_puda_buf *buf , u16
fpdu_len );

like, look at that signature. five whole arguments. it returns an int (iykyk, always check your return values 💀). the whole thing is irdma_ieq_create_pbufl, and yes you write it exactly like that, no shortcuts, fr fr.

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

okay so here's the cast of characters, main character energy each and every one:

• pfpdu — pointer to fpdu 💖 (literally just a pointer to the fpdu, that's her job)
• rxlist — resource list for receive ieq buffes 🔥 (yes, "buffes" — that's what the page says and I'm not about to gaslight you, we keep it exactly as-is 🫡)
• pbufl — temp. list for buffers for fpddu 🎀 (temporary list, buffers, fpddu — all the words, all the letters, staying exactly where they are)
• buf — first receive buffer 🌸 (the first one. the opener. the beginning of the story.)
• fpdu_len — total length of fpdu ⭐ (a u16, and it's the total length, not a partial, okay bestie)

🦋 heads up: these parameter names are load-bearing. copy them exactly. pbufl and fpddu look like typos and honestly they might be, but they're our typos, so we ship them verbatim. 💅
