mucse_mbx_get_macaddr(9)

okay so bestie, meet mucse_mbx_get_macaddr(9) — it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it’s here to explain one very specific little kernel move. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

mucse_mbx_get_macaddr — drops a mbx req to request a macaddr, and that’s the whole name-section moment 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mucse_mbx_get_macaddr (struct mucse_hw *hw , int pfvfnum , u8
       *mac_addr , int port );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to the HW structure, aka the hardware situation 💅
• pfvfnum — index of pf/vf num
• mac_addr — pointer to store mac_addr, so this is where the mac addr goes 🎀
• port — port index

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

mucse_mbx_get_macaddr posts a mbx req to firmware to get mac_addr. That’s it. That’s the function. It’s giving “send the request, get the address” energy, no extra plot twists 😭✨

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success, negative errno on failure. Slay when it’s zero; negative errno means nope 💀
