💅 rvu_npc_exa..._table_entry — bestie edition

ok so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about rvu_npc_exact_alloc_cam_table_entry. It's a kernel function on the 9th section (kernel devs only, iykyk). Buckle up, it's short and sweet.

✨ NAME ✨

rvu_npc_exact_alloc_cam_table_entry — literally just finds you a free slot in a fully associative table. that's the whole gig. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int rvu_npc_exact_alloc_cam_table_entry (struct rvu *rvu , int *index );

look at her. precious. takes two things, gives you back an int. 💖

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rvu — the resource virtualization unit. she's the main character here, the whole reason we're gathered. 👑
• index — the index to the exact CAM table. it's a pointer, so yes, she's gonna be written to, be normal about it. 🙈

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns 0 upon success; otherwise it hands you back an error number. so like… zero means slay, anything else means something's not giving. 💀
