t4vf_handle_fw_rpl(9)

💖 t4vf_handle_fw_rpl — like, the whole entire vibe 💖

okay bestie, so this one's from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the Kernel API Manual, we're in the big leagues now 🎀) and it's literally just one lil function that does one lil thing and I'm obsessed with how tidy it is. Let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

t4vf_handle_fw_rpl — process a firmware reply message

like, that's it. that's the whole job. it takes a firmware reply and it handles it. main character energy honestly 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int t4vf_handle_fw_rpl (struct adapter *adapter , const __be64 *rpl );

so it takes two things and gives you back an int. the int is how you know if it went well or if it's giving chaos 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the adapter. that's it, that's the description, the original page is a person of few words and honestly? respect 🫶
• rpl — start of the firmware message 🎀 (the start, bestie — it points at the beginning of the message, okay)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does it do? it processes a firmware message 💫 like, for example, link state change messages. if the link flips state and firmware wants to tell somebody about it, this is the somebody-being-told ✨

no cap, that's the whole description. short. sweet. iconic. periodt 💖
