✨ NAME ✨

e1000e_write_mc_addr_list — write multicast addresses to MTA 🌸

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • netdev — the network interface device structure, aka the whole vibe of the interface you're working with 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So basically, this is where the multicast address list gets written into the MTA hash table. That's it, that's the whole thing — no secret lore, no hidden quest. It writes the multicast address list to the MTA hash table, periodt ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • -ENOMEM — returned on failure 😭
  • 0 — returned when no addresses were written
  • X — returned when writing X addresses to the MTA, lowkey very main-character of it

the way this list is long — but we don't skip, we don't summarize, we read the whole thing together like besties 🫶

First up, the kernel file:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c

then all of these:

yeah that's all of them, and yes I counted, and no I will not be accepting feedback on it 💅✨

ngl there are no warnings or bug notes on this page — it's just a sweet little address-writing function living its best life 🧚
