dpsw_set_egress_flood(9)

💅 dpsw_set_egress_flood — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this one is a kernel manpage, manual section 9 (that's the kernel API girlies ✨), and yes it's literally called dpsw_set_egress_flood. Say that five times fast, I dare you. 🙈

---

✨ NAME ✨

dpsw_set_egress_flood — set egress parameters associated with an FDB ID. That's the whole vibe: you're setting the egress flooding config that's tied to an FDB ID. periodt. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int dpsw_set_egress_flood (struct fsl_mc_io *mc_io , u32 cmd_flags , u16
token , const struct dpsw_egress_flood_cfg *cfg );

like, it returns an int, bestie. keep that in mind (or don't, the RETURN section is gonna be a jump scare 😭).

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• mc_io — pointer to the MC portal's I/O object. your little doorway into the MC world, no cap 🫶
• cmd_flags — command flags; one or more of MC_CMD_FLAG_ 🔥 (yes, it's one of those arguments)
• token — token of the DPSW object, iykyk 💜
• cfg — egress flooding configuration. this is the actual payload, the main character energy of the whole call 👑

---

💀 RETURN 💀

so… this section is literally empty in the original. nothing. not a single word. the void. the silence. 🫠

I'm not gonna make up a return value for you because that would be lying to my bestie — the page gives you an int in the synopsis and then says nothing else. iconic behaviour, honestly. not me defending it. 😭

okay that's the whole page, bestie 💖 one last thing though — the footer said the source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/freesca... (yes, it's cut off like that in the original, don't come for me 🫠) and the date is October 2026, so… from the future, with love. 🦋✨ bye bestie, go forth and flood some egress 💅
