qed_spq_add_entry(9)

💖 qed_spq_add_entry — a kernel API manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel API vibes ✨), and it's genuinely such a little icon. it's all about sliding a new entry into a pending list while you're already holding the lock — iykyk 🔒

---

✨ NAME ✨

qed_spq_add_entry — add a new entry to the pending list. should be used while the lock is being held. periodt 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int qed_spq_add_entry (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_spq_entry
*_ent , enum spq_priority priority );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p_hwfn — the HW device data. literally the hardware's whole personality in a struct 🫶
• p_ent — an entry to add. this is the thing you're yeeting into the list 🌸
• priority — desired priority. the entry's main character energy tier 👑

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea: it adds an entry to the pending list if there's room — meaning an empty element is available in the free_pool ✨ — or else it places the entry in the unlimited_pending pool instead. either way your entry finds a home, no cap 🏠💖

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• zero on success 🙌
• -EINVAL on invalid priority 💀 (the vibe check failed, sorry bestie)

reminder bestie: this one should be used while the lock is being held — that's not a suggestion, that's the whole assignment 🔒🙈

and that's the page! this icon dropped from ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed back in October 2026, so go forth and add those entries responsibly 💜🎀🦋
