qed_vf_get_num_cids(9)

💜 qed_vf_get_num_cids — okay so this is a qed_vf_get_num_cids(9) situation, bestie

Man page energy, section 9, kernel API vibes. Strap in, this one's short and sweet 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

qed_vf_get_num_cids — literally just gets the number of available connections [both Rx and Tx] for a VF. That's it. That's the whole gig 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void qed_vf_get_num_cids (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , u8 *num_cids );

Look at her. Returns void. Doesn't even give you a status code. Iconic, unbothered, no notes 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• p_hwfn — the HW device data. Like, the hardware's whole personality file 🫶
• num_cids — the allocated number of connections. It gets written into this pointer, so yeah, you're handing over a u8 * and trusting the ride 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Void. Nothing. Zero. Nada. She does the work and dips, no receipts, no follow-up text 💀 (the actual answer lands in num_cids, iykyk)

Thirty besties, and yes, the double-underscore girlies are in the chat too 💖

Ngl there's no exit status, no signal, no env vars, no bugs section here — she's a void function in a header file, and the whole page is babygirl. Don't go looking for drama that isn't there 🌈

And that's the page, bestie! Sourced straight out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed, stamped October 2026, living her best life in the Kernel API Manual, section qed_vf_get_num_cids(9). Slay, bye! 🎀✨
