t4vf_get_vfres(9)
π t4vf_get_vfres β retrieve VF resource limits π
okay so real quick, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, the actual kernel docs, we're fancy now π) and it's genuinely one of the shorter ones, so honestly? slay, we love a low-effort read.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int t4vf_get_vfres(struct adapter *adapter);
π«Ά ARGUMENTS π«Ά
adapterβ the adapter. that's it. that's the whole argument. it's the adapter, bestie, you know the one π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
So what does it actually do? It retrieves the configured resource limits and capabilities for a virtual function. Very demure, very mindful.
And where do the results go? They get stored in adapter->vfres. that's the spot. that's where the little guys live π β¨
ngl it's giving "one-line function that does exactly what the name says" and honestly? iconic behavior.

likeβ¦ that's a lot of friends. the whole friend group showed up to the function's birthday party π genuinely obsessed with how t4vf_hw.c is carrying the entire social calendar.

cute little sign-off: this one comes out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio... and it's dated October 2026, so yeah β future-dated kernel lore, we stay ahead of schedule ππ read responsibly, ship it, ily, bye π¦π
