πŸ’– qed_mcp_cmd_port_init(9) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for qed_mcp_cmd_port_init β€” yes it's a real function, yes it's from the kernel, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

qed_mcp_cmd_port_init β€” Initialize the port interface with the MCP πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void qed_mcp_cmd_port_init (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_ptt *p_ptt );

like… it takes two pointers, returns nothing, and minds its own business. iconic behavior honestly πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • p_hwfn β€” HW device data. that's the hardware function/device struct, she's the main character of this whole thing πŸ’œ
  • p_ptt β€” P_ptt. yeah that's literally it, that's the whole description, no cap 😭

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Void. nothing comes back. void said "i'm not giving you anything and that's on periodt" πŸ’€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so the actual tea β˜• β€” this function can only be called after num_ports_in_engines is set. that's a hard requirement, not a vibe suggestion. if you call it before that's set, you're on your own, bestie πŸ™ˆ


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file lives right here, go touch grass (affectionate) and read it:

./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_mcp.h

and now… the mother of all friend lists. every single one of these, no skipping, i promised 🫢

like… seventy-two cross-references?? she said "know my whole friend group or nothing" πŸ˜­πŸ’€


quick vibe check 🧚: don't call this before num_ports_in_engines is set. that's the one rule. respect it and we're golden ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie πŸŽ€ this little beauty comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed, dated October 2026 β€” go off, qlogic directory, you ate πŸ’…πŸ”₯
