💅 mlx5hws_matc...ze_rule_move — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of the kernel API manual — this one's the page for mlx5hws_matc...ze_rule_move(9), and yes the title is literally truncated like that, that's just her aesthetic 🎀

---

🌸 NAME

mlx5hws_matcher_resize_rule_move — Enqueue moving rule operation. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she enqueues, she moves rules, she slays 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS

int mlx5hws_matcher_resize_rule_move (struct mlx5hws_matcher
*src_matcher , struct mlx5hws_rule *rule , struct mlx5hws_rule_attr
*attr );

literally just three args and an int return, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• src_matcher — Matcher that the rule belongs to. like, her home matcher, the one she's moving out of 🏠
• rule — The rule to move. the main character of this whole operation, fr fr 👑
• attr — Rule attributes. the little details that come along for the ride 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION

This function enqueues the operation of moving a rule from the source matcher to the destination matcher.

and that's the tea ☕ — it's an enqueue, bestie, meaning you're putting the operation in the queue, not doing the whole thing on the spot. the rule packs her bags at the source matcher and heads over to the destination matcher. iconic behaviour, honestly ✨🦋

🔥 RETURN

Zero on success, non-zero otherwise. so like — 0 = slay 💅, anything else = not slay 😭 check it, always.
