qed_cxt_tables_alloc(9)

💅 qed_cxt_tables_alloc(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the qed_cxt_tables_alloc page — it's section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally about setting up tables. Yes, tables. Not the cute café kind. The kernel kind. Sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

qed_cxt_tables_alloc — Allocate ILT shadow, Searcher T2, acquired map. 💖

Like, that's the whole elevator pitch. ILT shadow? allocated. Searcher T2? allocated. The acquired map? bestie, also allocated. It's giving "one function, three jobs, zero complaints." 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int qed_cxt_tables_alloc (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn );

One function, one argument, returns an int. Clean. Minimal. Iconic. No cap. ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• p_hwfn — HW device data. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Your hardware device data struct comes in, and the function does its little table-allocation ritual. 🎀

---

💜 RETURN 💜

Returns an Int. That's what the manual says, and we are not out here inventing lore. fr fr. 💅

bestie pls note: the page does not tell us what the individual int values mean, so I'm not gonna make anything up. We report, we don't speculate. 🙈
