💅 ixgbevf_hv_set_rlpml_vf — the Kernel API Manual, section 9, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the ixgbevf driver, the Hyper-V variant specifically, and somebody needs the max receive packet length set. that's the whole vibe of this page. welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, entry ixgbevf_hv_set_rlpml_vf. it's giving "small function, big responsibility" 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbevf_hv_set_rlpml_vf — literally just Set the maximum receive packet length. that's it. that's the function. no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 ixgbevf_hv_set_rlpml_vf (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u16 max_size );

so she takes two things and hands you back an s32. icon behavior honestly 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. yes, the classic. hand her the hardware struct and she's good to go 💖
• max_size — value to assign to max frame size, Hyper-V variant. that's the number she's gonna write in. keep it u16, bestie, she's not asking for more 🌈
