💅 qed_iov_get_next_active_vf 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's a little function from the qed driver family, and honestly? it's giving "tiny but crucial" energy. it does exactly one thing and it does it iconically 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

qed_iov_get_next_active_vf — give it a VF index, and it hands you back the index of the next active VF (including that one, okay? like it counts the one you passed in too 🫶).

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u16 qed_iov_get_next_active_vf (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , u16 rel_vf_id
);

literally just two args, no drama, no cap 💜

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• p_hwfn — the HW device data. that's your hardware function context, the whole vibe source 💀
• rel_vf_id — a VF ID. yep. that's the one 💅

---

👑 RETURN 👑

so if there are no further active VFs, you get MAX_NUM_VFS back 😭. otherwise? you get the index of the next active VF, slay ✨
