qed_init_global_rl(9)

✨ qed_init_global_rl(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one is qed_init_global_rl and it's literally the glow-up moment for a rate limiter. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_init_global_rl — initializes the rate limit of the specified rate limiter. yep, that's the whole vibe: it's giving "set up the speed limit for this one specific limiter" ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int qed_init_global_rl (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_ptt *p_ptt
, u16 rl_id , u32 rate_limit , enum init_qm_rl_type vport_rl_type );

like, look at all those args. five of them. she's thorough 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• p_hwfn — the HW device data. literally the hardware's whole personality file 💖
• p_ptt — the Ptt window used for writing the registers. that's your lil doorway for poking the registers 🚪✨
• rl_id — the RL ID. the limiter's name tag, iykyk 🏷️
• rate_limit — Rate limit in Mb/sec units. this is the actual number, in megabits per second, no cap 📊
• vport_rl_type — the Vport RL type. which flavor of Vport RL we're dealing with 🍓

---

💀 RETURN 💀

• 0 on success 🎉
• -1 on error 😭

that's it. binary queen. slay or don't, bestie.

ngl bestie, go read the whole squad above before you start poking at rate limiters fr fr 💜
