irdma_setup_aeq(9)

💖 irdma_setup_aeq(9) — straight from the Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're looking at irdma_setup_aeq(9) from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? she's a whole little vibe. short page, but she does exactly what she says on the tin, and we respect that 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

irdma_setup_aeq — literally just: set up the device aeq 💅 no cap, that's the whole pitch.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int irdma_setup_aeq (struct irdma_pci_f *rf );

one function, one argument, one int coming back at you. main character energy fr fr ⭐

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rf — the RDMA PCI function, babes. that's it. that's the whole input. she's the plug, she's the whole setup 🌈

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually do? two things, and they're both iconic:

1. create the aeq
2. configure its msix interrupt vector

that's the tea ☕ and then — the vibe check — if it all goes well she returns 0. if it does not go well, she returns an error. no in-between, no drama, just ✨success or error✨ 😭

lowkey the most honest function in the kernel ngl — she tells you immediately whether it worked. we stan a transparent queen 👑
