qed_iov_setup(9)

💅 qed_iov_setup(9) — okay bestie, let's talk SR-IOV setup

So you opened the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel API manual, we're fancy today 👑) and landed on qed_iov_setup. Iconic. Let's get into it, no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

qed_iov_setup — the function that sets up sriov related resources. That's the whole vibe: it does the setup, it handles the sriov stuff, and it's literally the resource-wrangler of this little corner of the kernel 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void qed_iov_setup (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn );

Yup, that's it. Returns nothing (void), takes one pointer. Short and slay ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• p_hwfn — HW device data. That's the hardware device info your function needs to do its thing 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Void. It gives you nothing back. Not a value, not an error code, not a lil wave goodbye. Void. Periodt 💀

Ngl, that means whatever happens in there, you're not getting a return value telling you about it. That's just how it is — don't come for me, I'm only the messenger 🙈
