🦋 t4vf_handle_get_port_info 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel has lore and we're reading it 💅 this one's a little function page from the networking corner of the kernel, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one thing. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

t4vf_handle_get_port_info — processes a FW reply message 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void t4vf_handle_get_port_info (struct port_info *pi , const struct
fw_port_cmd *cmd );

like, that's the whole signature. no return value, it's a void girlie, she just does the work and leaves 👑

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • pi — the port info 💖 this is the struct that's getting all the attention
  • cmd — start of the FW message 🌟 literally the beginning of it, that's the vibe

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Processes a GET_PORT_INFO FW reply message.

that's it. that's the description. no cap, that's the whole thing 😭 it takes the FW reply message for GET_PORT_INFO and processes it — firmware said "here's your port info bestie" and this function is the one who answers the door 🚪✨

ngl this page is short, but every function in a kernel driver is a main character in somebody's call stack, fr fr 💀
