π ARGUMENTS π
rdiβ the rvt dev struct. that's it, that's the one thing you hand it β¨
π DESCRIPTION π

like yes it's short, but it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy π

0on success πerrnoon failure π
π SEE ALSO π

like, twenty whole cross-references, she's connected π β¨
ngl the source path is ./drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt and this page is dated October 2026 β so yeah, future-coded of it πΈ
