📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ixgbevf_hv_negotiate_api_version_vf — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is very niche but also very iconic. it's a Hyper-V flavored function, iykyk. 🧚

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbevf_hv_negotiate_api_version_vf — literally just says what it is: Negotiate supported API version. that's the whole vibe check. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbevf_hv_negotiate_api_version_vf(struct ixgbe_hw *hw, int api);

she takes two things and gives you back an int, no cap. ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. that's the hardware context, your main character. she needs it to do literally anything. 🔥
  • api — an integer containing the requested API version. and here's the Hyper-V tea ☕: only ixgbe_mbox_api_10 is supported. that's it. that's the list. don't come with anything else, she's not doing it. 🙈
lowkey important: this is the Hyper-V version of the negotiate function, so the supported-version situation is stricter than you might expect — ixgbe_mbox_api_10 only, periodt. 💀

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

the whole friend group, in order — because the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/vf.c is where all of these live, and they all reference each other like a giant group chat 🫶:

like, yes, that's a lot of friends, but every single one of them is listed up there and every single one of them ate. 👑

and that's the page!! mwah 💋 this little beauty comes from the kernel source file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes the footer truncates it like that, she's mysterious ✨) and it's dated October 2026 — so mark your calendars bestie, the docs said October 2026 and the docs never lie. 🍓💜
