qed_vf_get_num_mac_filters(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

qed_vf_get_num_mac_filters — okay so this is the little qed function that gets you the number of MAC filters allocated for a VF 🎀 (that's Virtual Function, bestie, iykyk). Yes, this whole page lives in the Kernel API Manual and no, it's not scary, promise.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void qed_vf_get_num_mac_filters (struct qed_hwfn *p_hwfn , u8
*num_mac_filters );

Literally that's it. No return value, no drama, no hidden plot twist 🌸

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • p_hwfn — the HW device data. Like, the whole hardware function vibe check in one pointer 💅
  • num_mac_filters — this is where the allocated MAC filters end up. It's a u8 pointer, so it's smol and precious and holds a number for you 🍓

💀 RETURN 💀

Void. As in: nothing comes back. The function speaks through the num_mac_filters pointer only, main character energy, no receipts 😭

And then the whole friend group, fr fr — every single one of these cuties is related:

Ngl, that's a lot of see-also's, but they're all in the same driver neighborhood so it tracks 💜

💖 that's the whole page, you ate it 💖

Cute little sign-off: this one came from the Kernel API Manual, lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed, and it's dated October 2026. Slay 🦋✨
