 struct msix_entry * entries,
 int minvec,
 int maxvec);
 

Arguments

dev

pointer to the pci_dev data structure of MSI-X device function

entries

pointer to an array of MSI-X entries

minvec

minimum number of MSI-X irqs requested

maxvec

maximum number of MSI-X irqs requested

Description

Setup the MSI-X capability structure of device function with a maximum possible number of interrupts in the range between minvec and maxvec upon its software driver call to request for MSI-X mode enabled on its hardware device function. It returns a negative errno if an error occurs.
