qed_mcp_ov_u...rrent_config(9)
πΈ qed_mcp_ov_update_current_config(9) β kernel API manual, bestie edition πΈ
Okay so this whole page lives in the kernel API manual, and the function we're fangirling over is qed_mcp_ov_update_current_config β say it with me, it's a mouthful, iykyk. It's giving "long name, one job": it notifies the MFW (that's the management firmware, your new bestie) that the base device properties have changed. That's the whole vibe check. π
β¨ NAME β¨
qed_mcp_ov_update_current_config β no cap, its entire personality is: notify MFW about the change in base device properties. π¦
π SYNOPSIS π
int qed_mcp_ov_update_current_config (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct
qed_ptt *p_ptt , enum qed_ov_client client );
She takes three things and returns an int, periodt. β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
p_hwfnβ HW device data. That's the hardware function struct, the main character of this whole operation πp_pttβ P_ptt. Yep, that's literally all the page says. The ptt thing. Do with that what you will π«Άclientβ Qed client type. It's anenum qed_ov_client, so it's one of a set of client types, not just any rando number πΈ
π RETURN π
Returns int β and 0 means the operation was successful. Slay. That's the good ending. β
