qed_mcp_config_vf_msix(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 qed_mcp_config_vf_msix — the Kernel API Manual, but make it group chat 💅

okay so bestie, this is qed_mcp_config_vf_msix(9) — it lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual and honestly? She's a little delegator. Her whole thing is politely asking the MFW (that's the management firmware, icon behavior) to set up MSI-X for a VF. That's it. That's the function. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_mcp_config_vf_msix — literally just: request MFW to configure MSI-X for a VF. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int qed_mcp_config_vf_msix (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_ptt
*p_ptt , u8 vf_id , u8 num );

she takes four things and returns an int, periodt. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

okay so here's who's coming to the function's party:

  • p_hwfn — HW device data. the hardware's whole personality file, basically. main character energy. 👑
  • p_ptt — P_ptt. yes queen, that's the arg name, we don't ask questions, we just pass it. 💅
  • vf_id — absolute inside engine. that's the spec, that's the deal, write it down. 🔥
  • num — number of entries to request. how many MSI-X entries we're asking for, so like... count them properly bestie. 🍓

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Int. that's it. an int. the manpage is giving brevity and honestly? respect. ✨

not me wanting more detail and the page just saying Int 💀 — take the int, say thank you, move on.

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

the kernel file for all of this lives at:

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

and here's the entire extended friend group, every single one, i'm not skipping a single bestie 😭💖

like. that's a lot of friends. she's well-connected. iykyk 🦋

and that's the page, bestie! 💜 this whole thing comes from the source/directory ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future icon behavior, we love a timestamp that ate. 🎀✨ see u in the next manpage, muah! 💅🫶
