ENUM VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_TYPES(9)

✨ enum virtchnl2_action_types ✨

okay so real quick — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally just about one enum. one. enum. and honestly? she's kind of the main character of sideband flow steering, no cap 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum virtchnl2_action_types — the available actions for sideband flow steering 🎀

like, when a packet rolls up and the classifier is like "ok what do we do with u", these are the answers. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum virtchnl2_action_types {
    VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_DROP ,
    VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_PASSTHRU ,
    VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_QUEUE ,
    VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_Q_GROUP ,
    VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_MARK ,
    VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_COUNT

};

💖 Constants 💖

bestie. here's the whole roster. every single one. i would never gatekeep 💜

• VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_DROP — drop the packet. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "not my problem" 🙈
• VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_PASSTHRU — forward the packet to the next classifier/stage. hand her off, she's someone else's problem now 🫶
• VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_QUEUE — forward the packet to a receive queue. off she goes, to a singular queue 🌸
• VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_Q_GROUP — forward the packet to a receive queue group. same energy but it's a whole friend group, iykyk 👑
• VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_MARK — mark the packet with a specific marker value. lowkey branding it so everyone knows it was here ✨
• VIRTCHNL2_ACTION_COUNT — increment the corresponding counter. one more for the tally, slay 🎀

ok one tiny housekeeping note bestie — this page ships from ./include/linux/net/intel, dated October 2026, and it's filed under enum virtchnl2_action_types(9). so if u ever need to cite her, that's the receipt 💌

and that's the whole page!! go forth and steer ur sideband flows, u absolute icon 🧚‍♀️⭐💖
