mpt_get_msg_frame(9)

💖 mpt_get_msg_frame(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay bestie, so the title of this whole thing is mpt_get_msg_frame(9) and it lives in the Kernel API Manual — that's the manual name, consider it folded in and cute 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mpt_get_msg_frame — grab an MPT request frame out of the pool 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

MPT_FRAME_HDR* mpt_get_msg_frame (u8 cb_idx , MPT_ADAPTER *ioc );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cb_idx — the handle of a registered MPT protocol driver, iykyk 💅
• ioc — a pointer to the MPT adapter structure, main character energy fr fr 👑

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So like, this is literally you pulling an MPT request frame out of the pool — and the pool is 1024 frames big, allocated per MPT adapter, no cap 🎀✨

It returns a pointer to a MPT request frame, or NULL if there aren't any available or if the IOC is not active 😭 that's the vibe check, and if it fails, it fails.
