🌸 nfp_net_reconfig_post(9) — Kernel API Manual 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to nfp_net_reconfig_post, a page from the Kernel API Manual section 9. it's short, it's sweet, and it's literally the "hey bestie, remember to do the thing later" of network driver functions. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

nfp_net_reconfig_post — Post async reconfig request 🎀

like, you're not doing the reconfig right now. you're posting it. dropping it in the group chat. it'll get read when somebody's free, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void nfp_net_reconfig_post (struct nfp_net *nn , u32 update );

returns nothing, takes two things. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • nn — the NFP Net device to reconfigure 🫶 like, the actual card you're talking to.
  • update — the value for the update field in the BAR config. iykyk — it's the little flag value you're handing over.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what it does: it records an FW reconfiguration request. that's it. it's a note-taker, not a doer. 📝

the tea ☕: the reconfiguration will be kicked off whenever reconfiguration machinery is idle. so if the machinery is busy being iconic elsewhere, your request just... waits. patiently. like a good little queued task. 🧚

and here's the part that ate: Multiple requests can be merged together! 🔥 not me filing five reconfig requests and the kernel just going "yeah bestie, i'll combine those into one, you're welcome." lowkey efficient. highkey slay. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

like, that's the whole friend group fr fr 🫶 go say hi to all of them.

💡 friendly reminder: nfp_net_reconfig_post only posts. if you were expecting it to do the reconfig right this second — nope, babe, that's not the assignment 🙈

and that's the page!! mwah 💋 sign-off time: this lil beauty lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/netrono... and it's dated October 2026 — nfp_net_reconfig_post(9), periodt. 🍓⭐👑
