write_qp_ctxts(9)
π write_qp_ctxts β kernel API manual, section 9
okay so bestie, welcome to the write_qp_ctxts(9) page π this is the kernel API manual entry for it, and honestly? it's a little one. but it still ate, so let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
write_qp_ctxts β write the qp ctxt to HW β¨
like literally that's the whole job. write the qp ctxt. to HW. no cap.
π SYNOPSIS π
int write_qp_ctxts (struct hinic_func_to_io *func_to_io , u16 base_qpn ,
u16 num_qps );
it's giving function signature realness π returns an int, takes three args, we love a tidy little call π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
func_to_ioβ the func to io channel that holds the IO components π§ this is the container, the main character, the thing that's got all the IO bits in itbase_qpnβ first qp number β literally the starting qp number, that's it, that's the vibenum_qpsβ number of qps to write πΈ how many qps we're writing, bestie. the count. the amount. the quantity
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so the actual behaviour description is short and sweet and I respect it so much for that:
- Return
0β Success π - negative β Failure π
that's it. that's the whole description. no extra lore, no bonus features, just: zero means slay, negative means it did not slay π
fr fr keep that in mind β a negative return is your failure signal, so vibe check your return value before you assume everything's iconic β¨
π SEE ALSO π
kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/hinic/hinic_hw_io.c π go read it, iykyk
and the whole friend group of related pages, all in section 9:
init_qp(9)destroy_qp(9)hinic_io_create_qps(9)hinic_io_destroy_qps(9)hinic_io_init(9)hinic_io_free(9)
like a little found family of io functions π₯Ή obsessed
and that's the page!! π this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/huawei/... and it's dated October 2026, with write_qp_ctxts(9) sitting pretty in the footer β so yeah, that's the source, the version vibes, and the date, all wrapped up with a bow π bye bestie, go write some qp ctxts to HW π¦
