t3_sge_init(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 t3_sge_init(9) — like, the SGE glow-up page ✨

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for t3_sge_init — yes that's the function, and yes the manual section is 9 🎀. Buckle up, this one's short but she's important.

🌸 NAME 🌸

t3_sge_init — initialize SGE. That's it, that's the whole vibe. She initializes. Periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void t3_sge_init (struct adapter *adap , struct sge_params *p );

Literally the whole call. Two args, no return, no drama. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adap — the adapter. Yep. The actual network adapter struct we're doing all this for 👑
  • p — the SGE parameters. All the settings for the SGE live in here, so hand her over 💖

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Okay so here's what's actually going down: this function performs SGE initialization, and it's the kind you need every single time after a chip reset — not a one-and-done situation, she comes back around 😭

But listen, two things she is not doing, and this is the important part:

  • She does not initialize any of the queue sets here. Nope, not one. Instead, the driver top-level must request those individually — so like, that's somebody else's job, don't come for her 🙈
  • She also does not enable DMA here. That should be done after the queues have been set up — order matters, bestie, do not skip ahead ⭐
Fr fr, read those two bullets again. No queue sets, no DMA. t3_sge_init handles the SGE setup after a chip reset and that is exactly her lane — the rest is on you 🧚

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb3/sge.c — and honestly, the whole friend group shows up here, so let's give them all their moment 🌈

Like, she knows everybody 💀

👑 sign-off 👑

This little baddie comes to you straight from ./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio... and she was stamped October 2026 — go off, calendar icon 📅✨

Anyway, that's the page! SGE initialized, queues politely delegated, DMA left for later. Slay, t3_sge_init. 🍓💖
