📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 octep_ctrl_net_dev_remove — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual page (section 9, obvi), and the star of the show is octep_ctrl_net_dev_remove. Bestie, the whole vibe of this function is "hey firmware, we're leaving 👋" — it tells the firmware that a device unload has happened. That's it. That's the gig. No cap. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

octep_ctrl_net_dev_remove — Indicate to firmware that a device unload has happened.

Like literally, that's the entire personality. It's the goodbye text of kernel functions. 💌

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int octep_ctrl_net_dev_remove (struct octep_device *oct , int vfid );

Two args, one int coming back at you. She's simple, she's clean, she slays. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • oct — non-null pointer to struct octep_device. Non-null, bestie!! Do not come in here with a NULL pointer, I am begging 🙈. This is your device, front and center, main character energy.
  • vfid — Index of virtual function. Yeah, the virtual function index — she's an int, she's indexed, she's doing her thing. 💅

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So the actual rundown, no fluff:

return value: 0 on success, -errno on failure.

That's the whole description in the original and I'm not gonna invent lore that isn't there — 0 means we ate and left no crumbs ✅, and -errno means something went sideways and the error code tells you what 😭. Fr fr, keep every detail, that's the rule. 🫶

⭐ the cute sign-off ⭐

Okay that's the page!! 💖 It's from the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026, and the source path is all shy and abbreviated as ./drivers/net/ethernet/marvell... — you know the one, the Marvell Octeon EP corner of the tree 🐚. She's page octep_ctrl_net_dev_remove(9) and she's iconic. Periodt. 🎀🔥
