xe_gt_sriov_..._save_failed(9)

💅 xe_gt_sriov_..._save_failed(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment, brought to you by the letter "S" for "save"

Okay bestie, sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓 — we're reading a real page out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally called xe_gt_sriov_..._save_failed(9). Yes, the title itself has an ellipsis in it, and yes, that's iconic. It's giving "the kernel was too busy to type the whole name."

✨ NAME ✨

xe_gt_sriov_pf_control_check_save_failed — the function that checks whether save processing has failed. That's it. That's the whole job. It's the vibe check for saves. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool xe_gt_sriov_pf_control_check_save_failed(struct xe_gt *gt, unsigned int vfid);

Two arguments, one bool coming back at you. Clean. Minimal. Slay. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• gt — the xe_gt. Your graphics tile main character. 👑
• vfid — the VF identifier. Which virtual function we're ✨inquiring about✨.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this function is for PF only. PF, not VF. Do not come in here as a VF, bestie, this is not your function, this is not your era. 🚫

No cap, that's the entire description. Sometimes the manpage is short because the function knows exactly what it is.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• true — save processing failed. 😭 It's giving bad news.
• false — otherwise. 🌈

Literally a bool. No error codes, no -EINVAL drama, just a straight yes-or-no answer, fr fr.

Heads up bestie: every one of those SEE ALSO entries is a real manual page reference — if you're chasing the save/restore/FLR pipeline, that list is your whole lore drop. Don't skip the state machine ones, they're the plot. 🧚
