💅 e1000_rlpml_set_vf — a little kernel API manual, bestie edition

okay so you've stumbled into e1000_rlpml_set_vf(9), which is the manual page name AND the function name, and honestly? iconic. this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's about exactly one (1) thing: setting the maximum receive packet length. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_rlpml_set_vf — Set the maximum receive packet length

like literally what it says on the tin, no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void e1000_rlpml_set_vf (struct e1000_hw *hw , u16 max_size );

look at that signature. gorgeous. two arguments, returns void, which means it gives you nothing back and expects you to be fine with that. and you will be. 💜

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. yeah. it's a pointer. to the hardware struct. she's the main character here, everything flows through her 👑
  • max_size — value to assign to max frame size. it's a u16, it's the number, it goes in, and that's literally the entire plot 🍓

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

bestie the cross-references go CRAZY here, there are SO many of them. the source lives in Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igbvf/vf.c and then we've got the whole squad:

every single one of them. go read them. i'll wait. 💅✨

ngl there are no warnings, no exit statuses, no environment variables, and no bug notes on this page — it's a clean little one-function page and she ate. don't go inventing drama that isn't there 🙈

that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and fully documented. this lil cutie came out in October 2026, lives under the source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes it really is truncated like that in the footer, iykyk 😭), and it's filed under e1000_rlpml_set_vf(9) — same as the top, because symmetry is self-care 🌈⭐💖
