lpfc_sli_sri...r_virtfn_get(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the lpfc_sli_sri...r_virtfn_get(9) page from the Kernel API Manual πŸ’…βœ¨ this one's short but it's got that SR-IOV lore, so let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_sli_sriov_nr_virtfn_get β€” get the number of sr-iov virtual functions πŸ’–

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uint16_t lpfc_sli_sriov_nr_virtfn_get (struct lpfc_hba *phba );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • phba β€” pointer to lpfc hba data structure. 🫢

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so bestie, this function enables the PCI SR-IOV virtual functions to a physical function. It invokes the PCI SR-IOV api with the nr_vfn provided to enable the number of virtual functions to the physical function. As not all devices support SR-IOV, the return code from the pci_enable_sriov API call is not considered as an error condition for most of the device. no cap, that's literally the whole vibe. πŸ’…

lowkey important caveat: not all devices support SR-IOV, so the return code from the pci_enable_sriov API call is not treated as an error condition for most of the device. that's the exact energy from the page, periodt. 🫢
