✨ ad_port_selection_logic(9) ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖 this page is all about ad_port_selection_logic and honestly it's giving "the friend who does the group project seating chart" energy — it literally picks the aggregation groups 🫶

🎀 NAME

ad_port_selection_logic — select aggregation groups 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS

void ad_port_selection_logic (struct port *port , bool *update_slave_arr );

bestie it returns nothing (void), it just does the thing and mutates stuff in place, periodt ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS

  • port — the port we're looking at 👀 like, this one, the one in front of you.
  • update_slave_arr — a bool * that answers the question: "Does slave array need update?" 🙈 so yes, it's the little flag that tells everyone whether the slave array needs updating.

💜 DESCRIPTION

So here's the vibe: this function selects aggregation groups, and then assigns each port to its aggregator 💅 that's the whole job, no cap.

When does the selection logic get called? Two moments, ikyk:

  • during initialization — specifically after all the handshakes 🤝 (yes, all of them, don't skip them)
  • after every lacpdu receive — but only if selected is off 🔥

that's it, that's the function, iconic behavior honestly 👑
