fm10k_dcbnl_set_ops(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 fm10k_dcbnl_set_ops — from the Linux Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you've got a netdev, and you need DCB to actually, like, work. That's literally this function. It's fm10k_dcbnl_set_ops, and it's the little icon that hands your netdev its DCBNL ops pointer. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

🌸 NAME 🌸

fm10k_dcbnl_set_ops — configures the dcbnl ops pointer for a netdev 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fm10k_dcbnl_set_ops (struct net_device *dev );

That's it. One arg. One return of nothing. Clean, minimal, main character energy. 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • dev — the netdev interface for the device 💖 Like, the network device you're doing this for. Your girl. Your netdev.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what's it actually doing? It enables PF for DCB by assigning the DCBNL ops pointer. That's it, that's the whole thing — but it's kind of a big deal, because without that pointer assigned, DCB on your PF is giving nothing. Empty. Void. 😭

Assign the ops pointer and suddenly the DCB door is open. Slay. 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The kernel file lives right here, go look, it's iconic:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_dcbnl.c

And the whole friend group — these functions are literally the siblings, you'll want them too:

ngl they're all part of the same fm10k_dcbnl.c situation, so like… read them together, iykyk. 🦋

Fr fr, if you're poking at DCB on fm10k, this is the entry point. Don't skip it. 🙈

And that's the page, bestie! This one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f..., October 2026 edition — the same source and version and date as ever, just wrapped in a little bow for you. 🎀💜 Go forth and configure those ops pointers. ⭐
