fm10k_iov_configure_tc_pf(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… fm10k_iov_configure_tc_pf(9) β€” the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the main character is fm10k_iov_configure_tc_pf(9) β€” say that five times fast, i dare you 🫢 she's a little function with one job and she ate, no cap.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the exact summoning spell, copy it character for character or it won't work, iykyk:

s32 fm10k_iov_configure_tc_pf (struct fm10k_hw *hw , u16 vf_idx , int
rate );

she takes three things and returns an s32 β€” that's the whole vibe πŸ’«


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • hw β€” pointer to the HW structure 🧚 your little handle on the hardware, she needs it, don't ghost her
  • vf_idx β€” index of VF receiving GLORT 🌸 literally which virtual function is getting the GLORT
  • rate β€” Rate indicated in Mb/s πŸ”₯ the speed cap, measured in megabits per second

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does she do? she configures the TC for a given VF so it's only allowed up to a given number of Mb/s of outgoing Tx throughput πŸ’… that's it, that's the whole flex β€” a Lil rate limit for the traffic class, keepin' that VF from hogging the whole pipe.

lowkey important: it's outgoing Tx throughput we're capping here, bestie. not incoming. don't get it twisted πŸ™ˆ
