🌸 qed_spq_get_entry(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to qed_spq_get_entry, a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, and yes, we're citing it 💅). This is the little function that snags you an entry out of the spq free pool list. It's giving "grab a thing from the pile" and honestly? We love a simple queen.

✨ NAME ✨

qed_spq_get_entry — Obtain an entrry from the spq free pool list.

and before anyone comes for me: no, entrry is not a typo I made up, that's literally how the page spells it. we respect the lore 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int qed_spq_get_entry (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_spq_entry
**pp_ent );

One function, two args, returns an int. Short and sweet, main character energy fr fr.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p_hwfn — the HW device data. that's your hardware's whole little identity, we're handing it over 💖
• pp_ent — PP ENT. yes, that's the entire description. it's a pointer-to-pointer to an entry, and the page says "PP ENT" and dips. iconic minimalism, we stan. 🔥

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Int. — that's it. that's the whole description. an int. no cap.

quick vibe check: the page genuinely does not tell you anything about what a non-zero return means or what happens on failure. so don't come at me asking — the manpage said what it said, and we're not inventing lore 🙈
