qed_spq_post(9)

💅 qed_spq_post — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the qed_spq_post(9) page — yes that's the manual page name AND the function, we love a multitasking icon ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qed_spq_post — posts a Slow hwfn request to FW, or, if that's not happening, Pends it to the future list. no cap, that's literally the whole job description 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int qed_spq_post (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , struct qed_spq_entry *p_ent
, u8 *fw_return_code );

look at her. three args, returns an int, main character energy only 💅

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• p_hwfn — HW device data. that's the hardware-side bestie, the actual device info 🖥️
• p_ent — Ent. yes, just "Ent." — short for entry, she's lowkey mysterious like that 🙈
• fw_return_code — return code from firmware. it's a u8 *, so firmware gets to write back here and tell you how it went 📬

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Int. — that's it, that's the return section. an int. iconic minimalism 👑
