srpt_mgmt_method_get(9)

✨ srpt_mgmt_method_get — a whole kernel API manual moment ✨

Okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about srpt_mgmt_method_get. Yes, that's the whole name, she's long, she's iconic, we respect her 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

srpt_mgmt_method_get — process a received management datagram

Like, literally that's the job. A management datagram shows up, and this function deals with it. No cap. 🦋

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

void srpt_mgmt_method_get (struct srpt_port *sp , struct ib_mad *rq_mad
, struct ib_dm_mad *rsp_mad );

So it returns void (nothing back, she gives and doesn't take 😌) and it takes three things: sp, rq_mad, and rsp_mad. Keep those names exactly as-is, they're load-bearing, fr fr.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• sp — the HCA port through which the MAD has been received. Basically the doorway our little datagram came in through 🚪✨
• rq_mad — the received MAD. This is the one that arrived. The request. The main character of this whole situation 👑
• rsp_mad — the response MAD. The one going back out. Her job is to be the reply 💌
