✨ t4vf_get_sge_params(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is t4vf_get_sge_params — say it with me, bestie, it's a whole mouthful but we move 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

t4vf_get_sge_params — grab the adapter's Scatter gather Engine parameters, no cap

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int t4vf_get_sge_params (struct adapter *adapter );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adapter — the adapter. that's it, that's the whole argument. it's giving "one job and she did it" 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what this baby does is retrieve all the various core SGE parameters for you — and it hands them over in the form of hardware SGE register values. Raw, straight off the hardware, just like that 🔥

But here's the tea: it does not decode them for you. The caller is responsible for decoding these as needed. That's you. You're the main character now. Read the registers, figure out what they mean, go off 👑

Where do they end up, you ask? The SGE parameters are stored in adapter->params.sge. Iconic storage location, no notes 🌈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

literally the whole extended friend group, go say hi to all of them 💜

and also the kernel file itself, if you're feeling nosy:

./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/cxgb4vf/t4vf_hw.c

ngl this page is short but she's efficient. lowkey obsessed 💅

and that's the whole vibe check 🧚 source location is ./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio..., dated October 2026 — and again the page name is t4vf_get_sge_params(9) in case you forgot on your way down here 💖 bye bestie, slay your register decoding 🎀
