💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is rvu_npc_exac...e_to_pcifunc(9) from the kernel API manual, and it's literally the page for rvu_npc_exact_drop_rule_to_pcifunc — the little function whose whole job is retrieving the pcifunc 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the exact signature bestie, don't @ me:

u16 rvu_npc_exact_drop_rule_to_pcifunc (struct rvu *rvu , u32
drop_rule_idx );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• rvu — the resource virtualization unit. that's the whole vibe of this param, she's just the rvu 💅
• drop_rule_idx — the drop rule index in NPC mcam. yes that's literally what it is, no extra lore 🌸

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the Debugfs entry exact_drop_cnt displays the pcifunc for an interface, and how does it do that?? by retrieving the pcifunc value from the data base 😭 that's it, that's the plot, she's serving one (1) purpose and she's slaying it 👑

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

returns the drop rule index. iconic, straightforward, no notes ⭐
