ENUM IONIC_LIF_ATTR(9)

💅 enum ionic_lif_attr(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a short one — a little enum that's basically the guest list for a party where every LIF attribute gets an invite. no cap, it's giving "backstage pass list" energy. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum ionic_lif_attr — the full roster of LIF attributes, like a VIP list but for kernel networking 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum ionic_lif_attr {
    IONIC_LIF_ATTR_STATE ,
    IONIC_LIF_ATTR_NAME ,
    IONIC_LIF_ATTR_MTU ,
    IONIC_LIF_ATTR_MAC ,
    IONIC_LIF_ATTR_FEATURES ,
    IONIC_LIF_ATTR_RSS ,
    IONIC_LIF_ATTR_STATS_CTRL ,
    IONIC_LIF_ATTR_TXSTAMP ,
    IONIC_LIF_ATTR_MAX

};

like, that's the whole thing. nine little constants, all lined up, all iconic 💜

---

💖 Constants 💖

okay bestie, here's who's who at the function:

• IONIC_LIF_ATTR_STATE — the attribute for LIF state. she's the mood ring of the group 💅
• IONIC_LIF_ATTR_NAME — the attribute for the LIF name. yes, she has a name and yes, you will be using it 😌
• IONIC_LIF_ATTR_MTU — the LIF MTU attribute. maximum transmission unit, maximum vibes ✨
• IONIC_LIF_ATTR_MAC — the LIF MAC attribute. hardware address representation 🎀
• IONIC_LIF_ATTR_FEATURES — the LIF features attribute. everything she brings to the table 🔥
• IONIC_LIF_ATTR_RSS — the LIF RSS attribute. receive side scaling, spread the love around 🌈
• IONIC_LIF_ATTR_STATS_CTRL — the LIF statistics control</statistics control> attribute. numbers, but make it controlled 📊
• IONIC_LIF_ATTR_TXSTAMP — the LIF TX timestamping mode. time is literally a construct but this one stamps it ⭐
• IONIC_LIF_ATTR_MAX — the maximum attribute value. the end of the list, the final boss, the periodt 💀

so the kernel file for all of this lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensando/ionic/ionic_if.h — that's the mothership, go say hi 🧚

ok and one tiny housekeeping note bestie: this page is sourced from the kernel tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensand... and it's dated October 2026, so go follow that thread if you want the full lore. mwah, study hard, and remember — reading kernel headers is self care 💖✨🎀
