rdma_for_each_port(9)

💅 rdma_for_each_port(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, rdma_for_each_port is literally the iterate-over-all valid port numbers-of-the-IB-device moment. that's the whole vibe check, no cap. 💫

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the call looks exactly like this, character for character:

rdma_for_each_port (device , iter );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• device — the struct ib_device * to iterate over. this is the IB device you're doing your little port tour on 🫶
• iter — the unsigned int to store the port number. it's giving “here's where the port number goes” and honestly? iconic. ✨
