qed_mcp_set_link(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so real talk bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little function: qed_mcp_set_link. That's the one that goes "hey MFW 👋 can u set the link the way link_input says pls." No cap, that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int qed_mcp_set_link (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_ptt *p_ptt ,
bool b_up );

like, yes, the spacing is doing its own thing, don't @ me, this is just how it came out of the header file 🙈

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

three args, all of them main characters in their own way:

  • p_hwfn — the HW device data. literally the hardware's whole personality in a struct 💖
  • p_ptt — P_ptt. that's it. that's the description. iconic honestly 👑
  • b_up — the vibe switch. if true, raise the link 🔥. if false, reset the link. so simple, so powerful.

💀 RETURN 💀

Int. — a whole integer, returned. that's the tea. 🍓

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay so first things first, there's a kernel file you should absolutely go stare at:

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

and then. bestie. and then. there's the friend group. the whole squad. the entire qed_mcp extended universe is listed here and i'm not skipping a single one because every single one of these is a real reference and we do NOT leave members of the group chat on read 💜

like... 71 of them?? that's not a SEE ALSO that's a whole graduation ceremony 😭 but every single one earns its place, we love a thorough cross-reference queen 🌈

lowkey a reminder: everything above is straight from the page, so if you're actually poking at this driver, read the real header and the real functions — i'm just here to make it make sense 💫

and that's the whole page bestie!! 🎀 it came from <pink>./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed</pink> and it's dated <lavender>October 2026</lavender>, so go forth, raise that link, reset that link, and stan a well-documented kernel API. periodt. 💅✨🦋
