💅 qla2xxx_set_...ty_nobalance(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for qla2xxx_set_affinity_nobalance, and no, the truncated name in the header is not a typo, that's just how the man page title got cut, we don't ask questions 💀

✨ NAME ✨

qla2xxx_set_affinity_nobalance —

and that's literally it, that's the whole NAME section, the dash is just sitting there with nothing after it, main character energy with zero dialogue 🫶 (there's no description line in the source, so we're not inventing one, periodt)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void qla2xxx_set_affinity_nobalance (struct pci_dev *pdev , bool flag );

yep, that's the whole signature, spacing and all, exactly as written, no cap 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — the pci_dev struct for a qla2xxx device 🦋 like, which adapter are we talking about, this one right here.
• flag — a bool, and it's a little two-faced icon:
  • true: enable the "IRQ_NO_BALANCING" bit for the msix interrupt 🔥
  • false: disable the "IRQ_NO_BALANCING" bit for the msix interrupt 💅

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so this function gets called to disable/enable "IRQ_NO_BALANCING", and the whole reason is to keep the irqbalance daemon from kicking in during an adapter reset 😭 like girl, we are mid-reset, read the room, do NOT come in here rebalancing our IRQs.

it's giving "please hold, do not disturb" but for interrupts ✨
