💅 ksz9477_acl_get_init_entry — Kernel API Manual (section 9, bestie)

okay so this is ksz9477_acl_get_init_entry(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "little helper function that carries the whole ACL squad on its back." let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ksz9477_acl_get_init_entry — grab a brand-new uninitialized entry for a specific port on a ksz_device. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ksz9477_acl_entry * ksz9477_acl_get_init_entry (struct ksz_device
*dev , int port , unsigned long cookie , u32 prio );

like, that's the signature, copy it exactly please, it's not a vibe-based thing 😭

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the ksz_device instance. your main character device, the one everything happens on 💖
  • port — the port number you want the uninitialized entry for. be specific, bestie, ports matter 🔥
  • cookie — the cookie to associate with the entry. yes, a cookie, it's real, it goes in there 🍓
  • prio — the priority to associate with the entry, as a u32. priorities are iconic, don't skip them 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what it does is: this function retrieves the next available ACL entry for the specified port, clears all the access flags on it (all of them, every last one, bye 👋), and then associates it with the current cookie. that's it, that's the function, lowkey elegant 💅

no guessing, no extra lore — that's literally what the manual says and we're not adding to it 🧚

⭐ RETURN ⭐

a pointer to the new uninitialized ACL entry. struct ksz9477_acl_entry *. slay ✨

pro tip from your girl: this one hands you an uninitialized entry — the flags are cleared and the cookie's attached, but don't go assuming it's ready to fly, okay? read the docs, stay safe 💀
