💅 rtl83xx_setup_port_flood_control(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's about rtl83xx_setup_port_flood_control, and yes the header truncated it to rtl83xx_setu...lood_control(9) because even the manpage generator was like "that's too much name for one line" 😭 but we know the full thing now, we're fine, we're slaying.

🎀 NAME 🎀

rtl83xx_setup_port_flood_control — sets up the default flood control for a port 🦋

like, that's literally her job description. that's the whole vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int rtl83xx_setup_port_flood_control (struct realtek_priv *priv , int port );

that's the signature, copy it exactly, do not improvise, this is not a vibes-based coding sitch 💀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • priv — a realtek_priv pointer. that's your big ol' private data struct, she's holding everything together fr fr.
  • port — the port index. which port are we flooding? this one. 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she actually do? this function enables flooding for a given port. that's it. that's the plot. short queen behavior, we respect it 🫶

🧚 CONTEXT 🧚

can sleep. 😴

bestie this is important — "can sleep" means you're allowed to call this from a context where sleeping/blocking is legal. don't go calling her from an atomic context, that's not the move, that's giving "I didn't read the manpage" energy 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉 slay
  • a negative value for failure 😭 something went wrong, check your inputs

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/dsa/realtek/rtl83xx.c — go read her, she's iconic 💅

and here's the whole friend group, all of them, no one left out:

that's seventeen functions. seventeen. not me counting to make sure I got them all — I did, and I did 💀

periodt 🎀 that's the whole page. flooding enabled, port specified, priv pointer passed, no notes.

and finally, the cute sign-off you were promised: this page comes to you from the source dir ./drivers/net/dsa/realtek, dated October 2026, and it's the rtl83xx_setu...lood_control(9) of the Kernel API Manual. mwah 💋 go forth and flood responsibly 🦋✨
