qed_ll2_esta...h_connection(9)

💅 qed_ll2_esta...h_connection(9) — yes that's the real title bestie, it's from the Kernel API Manual and it got truncated at the party 🎀

okay so picture this: you already did the whole ~allocating~ thing, your LL2 queue pair is just sitting there, cute but useless, waiting for its main character moment. This is that moment. qed_ll2_establish_connection is the glow-up — it starts the previously allocated LL2 queues pair. no cap, that's literally the whole job. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

qed_ll2_establish_connection — start previously allocated LL2 queues pair 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int qed_ll2_establish_connection (void *cxt , u8 connection_handle );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• cxt — Pointer to the hw-function [opaque to some]. 🙈 like, it's a void *, so don't come for it asking questions, some of us just don't know what's inside and that's fine.
• connection_handle — the LL2 connection's handle, which you got from qed_ll2_require_connection. (type u8, baby-sized, keep it safe 🫶)

✨ RETURN ✨

0 on success, failure otherwise. that's it, that's the whole vibe check — zero means slay 💅, anything else means something went sideways 😭

💀 reminder bestie: this starts the queues, it does not allocate them. if you skipped the allocating step, that's not a vibe, that's a bug.

that's the page!! mwah 💜
