🎀 ixgbe_fill_dflt_direct_cmd_desc 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil baby function page, but she's important, i promise. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_fill_dflt_direct_cmd_desc — fill ACI descriptor with default values. that's the whole vibe. she fills, she defaults, she slays 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ixgbe_fill_dflt_direct_cmd_desc (struct libie_aq_desc *desc , u16 opcode );

no return value, she's a void queen 👑 she just does the thing and leaves.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • desc — pointer to the temp descriptor (non DMA mem). like, it's a temp one, so don't go thinking this is some DMA-mapped fancy situation, it is NOT 💀
  • opcode — the opcode can be used to decide which flags to turn off or on. so the opcode isn't just a label, it's lowkey the decision-maker for the flags 🔥

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Helper function to fill the descriptor desc with default values and the provided opcode.

that's it. that's the whole function. she's a helper, she's humble, she's the backbone of the operation fr fr 🦋 defaults go in, your opcode goes in, a nice lil ready-to-go descriptor comes out. no cap, sometimes the simplest functions are the most iconic ⭐

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋
