pch_gbe_alloc_queues(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ pch_gbe_alloc_queues ✨

okay so real talk, bestie — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is pch_gbe_alloc_queues. It's a 9-section kernel function page, so grab a lil snack 🍓 and let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

pch_gbe_alloc_queues — Allocate memory for all rings 💖

like, it goes and gets the memory for all the rings. every single one. no ring left behind. periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int pch_gbe_alloc_queues (struct pch_gbe_adapter *adapter );

that's it, that's the whole vibe. it takes one pointer and hands you back an int. short and iconic 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adapter — Board private structure to initialize ✨ this is the board's own private lil structure, and the function's whole job is to initialize it. main character energy honestly 👑

💜 RETURN 💜

here's the vibe check on what comes back:

  • 0 — Successfully 🎉 (which is what we want, obvi)
  • Negative value — Failed 😭 (ngl, if you see this, it did not slay)

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long and honestly? obsessed. every one of these is a sibling in the same kernel page family, so let's give them all their moment 🫶

fifty-four whole cross-references, we ate that 💀✨

one tiny heads-up before you go: there's no DESCRIPTION section on this page and honestly? she doesn't need one. the NAME, SYNOPSIS, ARGUMENTS and RETURN are carrying the whole thing. also just a note that the free-text at the bottom of the original page got cut off mid-path — the file line up top is the full one, so trust that one, bestie 🫶

ok and finally, the cute lil sign-off: this page comes from the ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-sem... source line (it's truncated in the original footer, so that's exactly as far as it goes 😭) and it's dated October 2026. bye bestie, go allocate those rings 💖🎀🦋🌸
