liquidio_vxlan_port_command(9)

🦋 liquidio_vxlan_port_command — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🦋

okay so this one's a kernel function from the Kernel API Manual and it's lowkey the shipper between you and the firmware 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

liquidio_vxlan_port_command — literally the function that sends a command to the firmware to add or delete a VxLAN UDP port. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int liquidio_vxlan_port_command (struct net_device *netdev , int command
, u16 vxlan_port , u8 vxlan_cmd_bit );

like, four args, one int back, no cap ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — pointer to network device. the actual netdev bestie, not a copy, not a vibe, a pointer 🫶
• command — how this one has to be OCTNET_CMD_VXLAN_PORT_CONFIG. not optional, not a suggestion, it's the whole assignment 💅
• vxlan_port — the VxLAN port that's getting added or deleted. a u16, so be normal about it 💖
• vxlan_cmd_bit — the bit that says which direction we're going: OCTNET_CMD_VXLAN_PORT_ADD, or OCTNET_CMD_VXLAN_PORT_DEL. the plot device of the whole function fr 🦋

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns SUCCESS or FAILURE. that's the vibe check — either it slayed or it didn't 😭

no in-between, no "maybe", no situationship. SUCCESS or FAILURE, periodt 💀
