🦋 mlx5hws_action_create_dest_vport — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 you're about to learn how to make a real cute direct rule thing that goes straight to a vport. yes that's a whole thing and yes it's iconic.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mlx5hws_action_create_dest_vport — Create direct rule goto vport action. literally what it says on the tin, no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct mlx5hws_action * mlx5hws_action_create_dest_vport (struct
mlx5hws_context *ctx , u16 vport_num , bool vhca_id_valid , u16 vhca_id
, u32 flags );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ctx — the context where your brand new action is gonna live. it's giving "main character setting", everything happens inside it 🫶
• vport_num — the destination vport number. like, where the packets are headed, the addy fr fr.
• vhca_id_valid — a little bool that tells us whether the vhca_id parameter is actually valid. yes queen, consent matters 💀
• vhca_id — the VHCA ID of the destination vport. only meaningful if vhca_id_valid said so.
• flags — action creation flags, and the type is enum mlx5hws_action_flags. slay.

pointer to mlx5hws_action on success, NULL otherwise. so like… check it, bestie. don't be out here dereferencing NULL 😭
