ENUM EFX_VF_TX_FILTER_MODE(9)

💖 enum efx_vf_tx_filter_mode(9)

okay bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual and it’s literally the enum for TX MAC filtering behaviour — no cap, that’s the whole plot. Think of it as the little menu of modes, and we’re gonna go through every single one because we don’t skip details in this group chat. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

enum efx_vf_tx_filter_mode — TX MAC filtering behaviour. periodt. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum efx_vf_tx_filter_mode {
    VF_TX_FILTER_OFF ,
    VF_TX_FILTER_AUTO ,
    VF_TX_FILTER_ON

};

Lowkey iconic structure, highkey just three constants. 🦋

🎀 Constants 🎀

• VF_TX_FILTER_OFF — Disabled. That’s it, that’s the vibe. 🙈
• VF_TX_FILTER_AUTO — Enabled if MAC address assigned to VF and only 2 TX queues allowed per VF. So yes, it’s the “conditions apply” one, bestie. 💀
• VF_TX_FILTER_ON — Enabled. Simple, clean, slay. ✨

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/siena/siena_sriov.c
• struct siena_vf(9)
• struct efx_local_addr(9)
• struct efx_endpoint_page(9)

iykyk — those are the references, and we’re keeping every one. 🫶

xoxo, your Unix bestie 💖 — source/version: ./drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/siena, date: October 2026, page: enum efx_vf_tx_filter_mode(9). bye bestie, go filter those TX MACs responsibly! 🧚
