ENUM DPNI_DIST_MODE(9)

💅 enum dpni_dist_mode(9) — like, the DPNI distribution mode era

okay bestie, so this page is literally the kernel API manual for enum dpni_dist_mode, and yes it's a whole enum, and yes it's gonna eat. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum dpni_dist_mode — DPNI distribution mode. that's it, that's the name, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum dpni_dist_mode {
    DPNI_DIST_MODE_NONE ,
    DPNI_DIST_MODE_HASH ,
    DPNI_DIST_MODE_FS

};

look at her. three constants. main character energy only ✨

🎀 CONSTANTS 🎀

the actual vibes, one by one 🦋

• DPNI_DIST_MODE_NONE — literally no distribution. nothing. zero. she's not distributing anything, and honestly? valid 😌
• DPNI_DIST_MODE_HASH — use hash distribution. heads up tho: this is only relevant if the 'DPNI_OPT_DIST_HASH' option was set at DPNI creation. if you didn't set it, this mode is just gonna sit there looking pretty 🙈
• DPNI_DIST_MODE_FS — use explicit flow steering. and same situation bestie: it's only relevant if the 'DPNI_OPT_DIST_FS' option was set at DPNI creation. no option, no relevance, iykyk ⭐

ngl that's a lot of cross-references but we don't skip pages in this house, we read all of them 💀💖

and that's the page babes!! 🌈 source path got a little truncated so it reads ./drivers/net/ethernet/freesca... and the date on this beauty is October 2026, filed right back under enum dpni_dist_mode(9). mwah, go slay your distribution mode selection ✨🎀🦋💜
