ixgbevf_setup_mac_link_vf(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is from the Kernel API Manual ✨ and today’s main character is ixgbevf_setup_mac_link_vf — Setup MAC link settings 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 ixgbevf_setup_mac_link_vf (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , ixgbe_link_speed
speed , bool autoneg , bool autoneg_wait_to_complete );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to hardware structure, periodt 💅
• speed — Unused in this implementation.
• autoneg — Unused in this implementation.
• autoneg_wait_to_complete — Unused in this implementation.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Bestie, this function does nothing and returns success 😭✨ That’s the whole flex: VF drivers are not allowed to change global settings — periodt. It’s maintained for driver compatibility, and we love a compatibility queen for it 👑.
