💖 nfp_cpp_from_operations(9) 💖

okay so first things first, bestie: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about nfp_cpp_from_operations — literally the glow-up moment where a NFP CPP handle gets born from an operations struct. it's giving "let there be light" but for kernel drivers ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nfp_cpp_from_operations — create a NFP CPP handle from an operations structure. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct nfp_cpp * nfp_cpp_from_operations (const struct
nfp_cpp_operations *ops , struct device *parent , void *priv );

like, yes, it wraps like that. copy it exactly, don't @ me 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • ops — the NFP CPP operations structure. this is the blueprint, the main character energy of the whole call 👑
  • parent — the parent device. every icon needs a parent, iykyk 🫶
  • priv — private data of the low-level implementation. the secret lore, if you will 🙈

💀 NOTE 💀

okay so listen: on failure, cpp_ops->free will be called! no cap, that's not a drill — your free callback gets invoked when this thing flops, so be ready for it 😭

🌈 RETURN 🌈

  • NFP CPP handle on success 🎉 slay, you got a handle
  • ERR_PTR on failure 💀 it's giving "not today"

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

the kernel file lives right here, go read it fr fr:

./drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfpcore/nfp_cppcore.c

and here's the whole friend group, no one gets left out 💜

and that's the tea 🍓 this little page comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/netrono... and it's dated October 2026, so like… future icon behavior honestly ⭐ bye bestie, go build a handle 💖🦋
