pci_find_vsec_capability(9)

💖 NAME 💖

pci_find_vsec_capability — Find a vendor-specific extended capability

Okay bestie, this is pci_find_vsec_capability(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally the “where is my vendor-specific extended capability” girlie. 💅✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u16 pci_find_vsec_capability (struct pci_dev *dev , u16 vendor , int cap
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — PCI device to query 👀
• vendor — Vendor ID for which capability is defined
• cap — Vendor-specific capability ID

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here’s the tea: if dev has Vendor ID vendor, you search for a VSEC capability with VSEC ID cap. If it’s found, you return the capability offset in config space; otherwise you return 0. That’s the whole vibe, no cap. ✨💖

mwah 💅💖 that’s the whole page, bestie — source/version: ./drivers/pci, date: October 2026, and yes, the manual name is still iconic: pci_find_vsec_capability(9) 🎀✨
