💅 irdma_setup_cm_core(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Kernel API Manual and you land on irdma_setup_cm_core(9). Bestie, this is the function that sets up the top level instance of a cm core. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "foundation layer, main character energy" 🔥

---

✨ NAME ✨

irdma_setup_cm_core — setup top level instance of a cm core 🎀

Like, literally just that. She's a one-liner in NAME and a whole personality in the codebase, no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int irdma_setup_cm_core (struct irdma_device *iwdev , u8 rdma_ver );

⚠️ yes the spacing is quirky, do not @ me, this is exactly how she's written and we respect the original formatting in this house 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

Two arguments, both iconic, both necessary:

• iwdev — the iwarp device structure 🫶 this is your actual device, the whole reason we're here, the moment.
• rdma_ver — the HW version (u8). hardware version, hardware version, hardware version — say it with me, it's the HW version ⭐
