bdx_vlan_rx_kill_vid(9)

💅 bdx_vlan_rx_kill_vid — like, the whole vibe

okay so real talk, this is a kernel API manual page — section 9 of the manual, bestie, the kernel developer section, so we're in the big leagues here 🫶. The star of the show is bdx_vlan_rx_kill_vid, a kernel hook whose entire personality is yeeting a VLAN vid out of the hardware filtering table. That's it. That's the function. And honestly? Iconic. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

bdx_vlan_rx_kill_vid — the kernel hook for killing a VLAN vid in the hw filtering table 🔥

like, it's giving "delete this entry, respectfully" 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bdx_vlan_rx_kill_vid (struct net_device *ndev , __be16 proto , u16
vid );

not me writing out the whole signature with the exact same spacing and everything — yep, character for character, we do not edit the synopsis around here 💖

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ndev — the network device 🖥️ literally the nic in question, the main character of this whole operation
• proto — unused 🙈 bestie it is not even looked at. it's just… there. sitting in the parameter list like a decoration. we don't question it, we respect it
• vid — the VLAN vid to kill 💀 point it at the vid and it's done-zo

💡 friendly reminder: this is the page for a kernel hook, so if you're reading it in userspace expecting a shell command… bestie, no. go read section 1. 😭
