bnx2x_vlan_...t_cmd_hdr_e2(9)

💅 bnx2x_vlan_mac_set_cmd_hdr_e2 — bestie, we're setting a header ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely giving "niche driver internals but make it cute" 🎀 stay with me, it's shorter than it looks.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

bnx2x_vlan_mac_set_cmd_hdr_e2 — set a header in a single classify ramrod 💅 (yes, "ramrod", that's the actual word, we don't make the rules)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void bnx2x_vlan_mac_set_cmd_hdr_e2 (struct bnx2x *bp , struct
       bnx2x_vlan_mac_obj *o , bool add , int opcode , struct
       eth_classify_cmd_header *hdr );

like literally that's it. five args, void return, no cap 🫶

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• bp — the device handle. your whole card, your whole vibe, the main character 🫶
• o — the queue we're configuring this rule for. it's her queue, we're just living in it 💅
• add — a bool, and it's lowkey the whole plot twist: if it's true the command is an ADD command, otherwise it's a DEL. pick a lane bestie 😭
• opcode — the CLASSIFY_RULE_OPCODE_XXX value. yes it's written exactly like that, the XXX is in the source, slay ⭐
• hdr — pointer to a header to set up. you hand it over, it gets filled in, iconic ✨

ngl bestie, if you're here you're probably already deep in bnx2x_sp.c at 2am and that's valid 🌙

okay that's the whole page, go touch some registers 💅

sign-off era: source/version is that truncated little path ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... and the date on this beauty is October 2026 — mwah, periodt 🎀✨
