ENUM MV88E6XXX_EDSA_SUPPORT(9)
π enum mv88e6xxx_edsa_support β like, the whole vibe check for Ethertype DSA tags
Ok bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about enum mv88e6xxx_edsa_support β literally the enum that tells you the Ethertype DSA tag support level of a chip. It's giving "how much do I trust this hardware" energy. π¦
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
enum mv88e6xxx_edsa_support {
MV88E6XXX_EDSA_UNSUPPORTED ,
MV88E6XXX_EDSA_UNDOCUMENTED ,
MV88E6XXX_EDSA_SUPPORTED
};
Periodt. Three constants, no more, no less. π
π Constants π
MV88E6XXX_EDSA_UNSUPPORTEDβ nope, not happening. This device has no support for EDSA tags at all. It's not invited to the party. πMV88E6XXX_EDSA_UNDOCUMENTEDβ ok this one is my fave, it's so messy π. The documentation says that egressingFORWARDframes with an EDSA tag is *reserved for future use*β¦ but the empirical data is out here serving receipts that this mode is supported. The docs lied, the vibes didn't. πMV88E6XXX_EDSA_SUPPORTEDβ slay! EDSA tags are fully supported. Main character energy, no caveats, we love to see it. π₯
