💅 sw_cfg_port_based(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, specifically the 9 section of the manual (you know, the kernel API one), and you need to set a port's priority. That's literally this whole page. It's short, it's sweet, it's giving "one job and it does it." 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

sw_cfg_port_based — configure switch port based priority 🦋

No cap, that's the entire elevator pitch.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void sw_cfg_port_based (struct ksz_hw *hw , int port , u8 prio );

look at that signature. three args, returns nothing, zero drama. 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • hw — the hardware instance. your switch, basically. the main character. 👑
  • port — the port index. which port we're doing the thing to. 🔥
  • prio — the priority to set. a u8, so keep it small and cute. ⭐

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This routine configures the port based priority of the switch. That's it. That's the whole description. It's not a long page, bestie — it walks in, sets the port based priority on the switch, and leaves. Iconic behavior honestly. ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

bestie heads up: every single one of those is exactly as written on the original page. don't let anyone tell you the list was shorter. fr fr. 💀

🧚 the cute sign-off 🧚

this whole thing came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/micrel, and the page is dated October 2026 — that's the source and version and date, all accounted for, no gatekeeping. now go set that port based priority, you absolute queen. slay. periodt. 👑💜🌸
