💅 rvt_query_port(9) 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the Kernel API Manual, we're in the big leagues now — and it's all about rvt_query_port. Grab a strawberry drink, we're doing kernel networking today 🍓✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

rvt_query_port — literally just passes the query port call along to the driver. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving middleman, but make it iconic 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int rvt_query_port (struct ib_device *ibdev , u32 port_num , struct
       ib_port_attr *props );

she takes three things and gives you back an int. no cap 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ibdev — the Verbs IB dev. your whole device, the main character 👑
  • port_num — the port number, and listen: it's 1 based from ib core. not 0 based, don't come at me with a 0, it will not slay 🙈
  • props — the structure that holds the returned properties. she's the little container where the answers go to live 🎁

🔥 RETURN 🔥

0 on success. that's the only value listed, so 0 on success and we move 💀✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt/vt.c, and honestly the whole friend group is here:

iykyk, it's a whole roster 🌈

bestie reminder: port_num is 1 based from ib core. i said what i said, go off 💖

and that's the page!! this one's chillin' in ./drivers/infiniband/sw/rdmavt, dated October 2026 — yeah, she's from the future, main character energy fr fr ⭐🦋 mwah, see u in the next one 🎀
