💖 octep_ctrl_net_set_rx_state(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about octep_ctrl_net_set_rx_state — one single little function whose entire personality is "tell the firmware what the rx state should be." no cap, that's the whole job. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

octep_ctrl_net_set_rx_state — Set rx state in firmware. literally that. iconic minimalism.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int octep_ctrl_net_set_rx_state (struct octep_device *oct , int vfid ,
bool up , bool wait_for_response );

look at her go 💅 that's the whole signature, don't touch a single character of it.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• oct — a non-null pointer to struct octep_device. non-null bestie, we're serious about that one 🙈
• vfid — the index of the virtual function. like, which vf are we talking about.
• up — a boolean status. up or not up, that's the vibe check.
• wait_for_response — poll for response. yes queen, go get that answer 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the whole plot twist is that this function's description is just its return value, and honestly? she's efficient. ⭐

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

that's it. that's the description. 0 means slay, -errno means something went wrong and the error number will tell you what. no vibes were wasted here 🫶
