irdma_initialize_dev(9)

💖 irdma_initialize_dev(9) 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about irdma_initialize_dev — bestie, it's the "wake the device up" era of your driver's life ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

irdma_initialize_dev — initialize device 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int irdma_initialize_dev (struct irdma_pci_f *rf );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• rf — the RDMA PCI function 💅 like, the actual function object you're bringing to life, no cap

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So here's the vibe: this function allocates memory for the hmc objects and initializes iwdev. 🫶

• Returns 0 if it slayed (successful) ✅
• Otherwise it cleans up the resources and returns an error 💀 — yes, it tidies up after itself before bailing, we love a self-aware icon

ngl if you get a nonzero return, the cleanup already happened, so don't go double-freeing things like a main character who didn't read the docs 🙈
