π octep_vf_disable_msix β the Kernel API Manual tea π«
okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today (section 9, the fun one, iykyk) and the main character of this page is literally octep_vf_disable_msix. no cap, she's a tiny little function but she does exactly what it says on the tin β¨
π NAME π
octep_vf_disable_msix β disable MSI-x interrupts. periodt. that's the whole vibe π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void octep_vf_disable_msix (struct octep_vf_device *oct );
look at her go π¦ returns nothing (void, lowkey mysterious of her), takes exactly one argument, and yes the parentheses and semicolon are exactly like that β copy-paste safe, no edits π
π§ ARGUMENTS π§
octβ the Octeon device private data structure π this is the device's little personal diary, and we're handing it over so the function knows which Octeon device we're talking about.
β DESCRIPTION β
Disable MSI-x on the Octeon device. that's it, that's the whole thing π₯ you pass in the oct pointer, MSI-x interrupts get disabled on that Octeon device, and then you go live your life π
no return value, no surprises β it's giving "quiet competence" main character energy π
