πŸ’œ i40e_add_ieee_ets_tlv πŸ’œ

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9 β€” yes, the driver-functions-for-people-who-hack-on-the-kernel section. pull up a chair bestie, this one's a builder function and it's lowkey adorable πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

i40e_add_ieee_ets_tlv β€” the girl whose whole job is prepping the ETS TLV in IEEE format πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void i40e_add_ieee_ets_tlv (struct i40e_lldp_org_tlv *tlv , struct
       i40e_dcbx_config *dcbcfg );

so it returns void, meaning it does the thing and doesn't come back to tell you about it. she's confident like that πŸ’β€β™€οΈ


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • tlv β€” this is where you fill the ETS config data in IEEE format ✨ like, this is the destination, the blank canvas, the main character of this whole operation 🎨
  • dcbcfg β€” the local store which holds the DCB Config πŸ—„οΈ your source of truth, your lore, the data you're pulling from

two pointers in, vibes out. that's the whole deal 🫢


✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the actual job: prepare IEEE 802.1Qaz ETS CFG TLV 🌈 that's it. that's the function. she takes the DCB config and writes it into the TLV in IEEE format, and honestly? she ate. no cap. πŸ”₯

ngl this is one of those tiny helper functions that only makes sense once you've read like six other functions around it β€” it's giving "supporting character with main character energy" πŸ’€ but she's essential, fr fr.

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

bestie. there are SO many siblings. buckle up, we're doing the whole family tree πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈ

like I said. whole family reunion 😭 every single one of them, exactly as written, no skips, we don't do skips here πŸ’–


and that's the page, bestie!! 🌸 this one came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e β€” the October 2026 vintage, if you will πŸ“ β€” and it's brought to you by the i40e_add_ieee_ets_tlv(9) girlies. slay, go fill that TLV, periodt πŸ’…βœ¨
