qed_init_pf_rl(9)

💅 qed_init_pf_rl(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so real talk: this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one tiny function that sets up a rate limit on a PF. sounds dry? maybe. but we're gonna make it make sense 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

qed_init_pf_rl — literally just initializes the rate limit of the specified PF. that's the whole vibe check 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int qed_init_pf_rl (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_ptt *p_ptt , u8
pf_id , u32 pf_rl );

yup, that's it. one function, four args, returns an int. slay 🔥

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• p_hwfn — the HW device data. like, the actual hardware's whole personality file 💅
• p_ptt — the Ptt window used for writing the registers. this is the little doorway you write through, iykyk 🚪✨
• pf_id — the PF ID. which PF we're talking about, periodt.
• pf_rl — the rate limit, in Mb/sec units. yes bestie, Mb/sec, keep that unit in mind fr fr 📏

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success 🎉
• -1 on error 😭

no in-between, no "it's complicated". iconic.
