✨ qed_ll2_alloc(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a function page, and it's giving "tiny but mighty" 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_ll2_alloc — literally just allocates the LL2 connections set. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int qed_ll2_alloc (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn );

one function, one argument, returns an int. clean. iconic. no notes 🔥

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p_hwfn — the HW device data 🧚 like, the hardware function struct, the main character of this whole operation. it walks in and the LL2 connections set gets allocated. periodt.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns an Int. that's the entire documented return value, ngl — an int, full stop 🙂‍↕️ code block it and move on:

Int.

(no, we don't get a description of which int. that's the mystery. the lore. 🙈)
