sw_init_broad_storm(9)

💖 sw_init_broad_storm(9) 💖

okay so this one is straight from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — section 9, no cap. it's a tiny little setup function, and we're gonna get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

sw_init_broad_storm — initialize broadcast storm 🌪️

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void sw_init_broad_storm (struct ksz_hw *hw );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — the hardware instance. that's the whole arg, bestie 🫶

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so this routine initializes the broadcast storm limit function of the switch. literally that's the vibe: sw_init_broad_storm() handles the broadcast storm limit function setup, periodt ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the full reference squad is here, all of it, no skips and no summaries — i'm putting it in a code block so every single struct and function stays exactly right 💖
