irdma_process_options(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🦋 NAME

okay so bestie, this page is about irdma_process_options — and what it does is process options from TCP header. that's the whole vibe. it's the lil function that goes through the TCP header options and handles them, periodt 💅

quick lil context so you're not confused: this is a section 9 page from the Kernel API Manual, so it's kernel-API territory, not your "type ls and pray" territory 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS

here's the signature, verbatim, do not come for me about the spacing, it's iconic in its own way 🎀

int irdma_process_options (struct irdma_cm_node *cm_node , u8
       *optionsloc , u32 optionsize , u32 syn_pkt );

she's an int-returning function, highkey doing the most with four args 🫶

🧚 ARGUMENTS

  • cm_node — connection's node. like, the CM node for the connection you're dealing with, the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • optionsloc — point to start of options. literally the pointer that says "the options start here" 📍
  • optionsize — size of all options. all of them. every single one. the total. 🌈
  • syn_pkt — flag if syn packet. a flag telling you whether this is a SYN packet or not, iykyk 🔥
ngl that's the entire argument list, no hidden extras, no mystery fifth thing, we stay honest on this page 💀

👑 SEE ALSO

so, the kernel file this all lives in is ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/cm.c — and the see-also roster here is huge, like a whole friend group chat of CM functions. every single one, in order, no cap 🍓

like I said. the whole group chat. each and every one of them, bestie, I did not skip a single icon 💜

okay and that's the page!! this one came out of ./drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future vibes 🌸 go read irdma_handle_tcp_options(9) next, it's giving sibling energy, obsessed 🫶✨
