💖 rtl83xx_port_bridge_flags 💖

Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for rtl83xx_port_bridge_flags — literally the page you want when you're setting bridge flags on a Realtek DSA switch. It's giving kernel-dev main character energy and I'm honestly obsessed. Let's break it down. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

rtl83xx_port_bridge_flags — sets port bridge flags. Slay.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int rtl83xx_port_bridge_flags (struct dsa_switch *ds , int port , struct
switchdev_brport_flags flags , struct netlink_ext_ack *extack );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ds — the DSA switch instance. That's the switch object we're operating on.
• port — the port index. Like, which port are we touching? This one.
• flags — the bridge port flags. The flags themselves, bestie.
• extack — the netlink extended ack, used for reporting errors back up the stack. Very demure, very mindful error reporting.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This function handles setting bridge port flags — you know, things like learning and flooding. So if you're like "hey bestie, can this port learn?" or "can it flood?", this is the function that sets those flags. Periodt. 🔥

⭐ CONTEXT ⭐

Can sleep. 😴 So like, this one is allowed to sleep, iykyk.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• 0 on success. 🎉
• A negative value for failure. 😭
