qed_sp_destroy_request(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 qed_sp_destroy_request — NAME 🌸

ok so bestie, gather round: qed_sp_destroy_request is the function that returns a SPQ entry to the pool, and it also frees the entry if allocated. 🎀

and like, the important part — the part you literally cannot skip — is when you call it: it should be called on in error flows after initializing the SPQ entry and before posting it. that's the whole vibe check. error path, after init, before post. periodt. 💅

this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, iykyk.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void qed_sp_destroy_request (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct
qed_spq_entry *p_ent );

yeah she takes two args and gives you nothing back. void city. 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • p_hwfn — the HW device data. like, the hardware handler situation. that one. 🔥
  • p_ent — the Ent. yes, that's genuinely all the original says. "Ent." iconic minimalism, no notes. 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Void. that's it. nothing comes back. she simply does the thing and leaves. 💀

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

first up, the literal file, no cap:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed_sp.h

and then the whole bestie squad of related calls, in order, every single one of them 👑:

🌈 friendly reminder bestie: this one is an error-flow friend. after initializing the SPQ entry, before posting it. don't be out here calling her at random times, ok? 😭

and that's the whole page, mwah 💖 this gem ships out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed, dated October 2026, and it's literally titled qed_sp_destroy_request(9) — slay, go free those entries, ily, bye 🍓✨
