✨ __iavf_setup_tc(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the iavf section 9 glow-up πŸ’… this is the Kernel API Manual page for __iavf_setup_tc, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big job." let's get into it πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

__iavf_setup_tc β€” configure multiple traffic classes πŸ’–


⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int __iavf_setup_tc (struct net_device *netdev , void *type_data );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • netdev β€” the network interface device structure, aka the whole vibe of the net device we're working with 🫢
  • type_data β€” the tc offload data, literally the traffic-class info being handed over πŸ‘‘

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so what does it do, you ask? ok so this function takes the config information that the user provided, right, and it uses that to configure traffic classes / queue channels. then it packages all that info up so it can request the PF to actually go and set up the traffic classes. like, it's the middleman with main character energy 🌈

no cap, it returns 0 on success ✨ periodt.
