🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_del_sanmac_netdev — removes the SAN MAC address to the corresponding netdev->dev_addrs

like yes, that's the whole name section, she's short and to the point, we love a minimalist queen 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_del_sanmac_netdev (struct net_device *dev );

one return value, one argument, zero drama. periodt. 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the network interface device structure 🫶 (that's your netdev bestie, she's the main character here)

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea 🍓: this one returns non-zero on failure. That's it. That's the whole description. no cap.

so if you call it and get something back that isn't zero, that's the failure vibe check failing, iykyk 😭
