✨ ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_setup — the glow-up manual 💅

Okay so bestie, this is the manual page for ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_setup(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and we are literally about to understand it together. No cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_setup — called to set up ddp context. That's the whole vibe. It's the function that gets the DDP context ready to slay. 🔥

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_setup (struct net_device *netdev , u16 xid , struct
scatterlist *sgl , unsigned int sgc , int target_mode );

Copy it exactly like that, bestie. Character for character. Don't @ me. 📋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • netdev — the corresponding net_device. Like, the net_device that's in question here. It's giving "main character" energy. 👑
  • xid — the exchange id requesting ddp. This is the ID that's like "hey, I need a DDP setup over here." 🆔
  • sgl — the scatter-gather list for this request. All the pieces, all the vibes, literally the whole scatter-gather situation. 🧩
  • sgc — the number of scatter-gather items. How many of them? That number. Counting is important, bestie. 🔢
  • target_mode — 1 to setup target mode, 0 to setup initiator mode. So it's either target or initiator, no in-between. Pick your fighter. ⚔️

💖 RETURN 💖

Returns 1 for success and 0 for no ddp. That's it. That's the return. 1 = slay, 0 = no ddp era. Simple as. ✅

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_fcoe.c — that's where the magic lives, bestie. Go look at it if you're curious. 👀

And here's the whole friend group:

That's the whole squad. Periodt. 💅

Okay so this page came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_fcoe.c (the file path is literally right there in the SEE ALSO, iykyk), dated October 2026, and it's the ixgbe_fcoe_ddp_setup(9) manual page. Ngl, that's the sign-off. You're welcome, bestie. 💜✨
