ksz9477_move...ries_upwards(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so listen — ksz9477_move_entries_upwards is literally the function that moves a whole range of ACL entries upwards in the list. that's it, that's the vibe. from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and yes we're getting into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ksz9477_move_entries_upwards (struct ksz_device *dev , struct
ksz9477_acl_entries *acles , u16 start_idx , u16 num_entries_to_move ,
u16 target_idx );

no cap, that's the whole signature — copy it exactly, i'm not about to fumble the parameter order on you 😭

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — pointer to the KSZ device structure. it's giving main character energy, everything routes through here 💖
• acles — pointer to the structure holding all the ACL entries. the whole squad, in one place ✨
• start_idx — the starting index of the entries you wanna move. where the block begins, periodt 📍
• num_entries_to_move — how many contiguous entries are coming along for the ride. they gotta be back-to-back, okay? 🌸
• target_idx — the destination index where the first entry should land after the move. yes, the first one — that's the landmark 🦋

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this function rearranges a chunk of ACL entries by moving them upwards in the list, using the source and destination indices you hand it. lowkey elegant, honestly 💅

and the important bit — the reordering process preserves the linkage between entries by updating it accordingly. like, nobody gets lost in the shuffle, the links stay linked, the vibe stays intact ✨ no cap, that's the whole point.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns 0 if the entries were successfully moved 🎉 — otherwise you get a negative error code, which is your sign that something went sideways 😭
