💖 i40e_aq_add_...d_filters_bb(9) 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the actual manual name, we love a formal moment ✨ — and it's all about one little i40e function. pull up a chair, bestie, this one's short but it's mighty 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_aq_add_cloud_filters_bb -

and that's it. that's the whole name section. the description slot is literally empty 😭 no cap, the original just leaves it hanging. honestly? mysterious. main character energy. we respect it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int i40e_aq_add_cloud_filters_bb (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 seid , struct i40e_aqc_cloud_filters_element_bb *filters , u8 filter_count );

look at that signature. four args, one int return, zero notes 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

okay so here's who's invited to the function call:

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. like, the whole vibe of the hardware, handed to you as a pointer 💜
  • seid — the VSI seid to add cloud filters from. a u16, so keep it tidy.
  • filters — buffer which contains the filters in big buffer to be added. yes, "big buffer" is the actual technical term here, we're being so fr fr right now 🧚
  • filter_count — number of filters contained in the buffer. a u8, so don't go wild and stuff like 300 of them in there, bestie 💀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does it do? it sets the big buffer cloud filters for a given VSI. periodt. 🌈

and here's the part you gotta internalize: the contents of i40e_aqc_cloud_filters_element_bb are filled in by the caller of the function. that's you. that's your job. the function is not gonna do it for you, it's not gonna hold your hand, it's just gonna use what you handed it 😌 so fill that struct in properly before you call, iykyk.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

first up, the source home you should lowkey go read: the Kernel file

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_common.c

and now… the extended fam. the whole group chat. every single one of these, fr fr 🫶

like… that's the whole roster. ate and left no crumbs 👑 (and yeah, i40e_aq_rem_cloud_filters_bb(9) is literally the sibling page, go say hi 💕)

quick vibe check bestie: the struct is your responsibility. the caller fills in i40e_aqc_cloud_filters_element_bb. don't come for this function when the filters are empty 🙈

that's the page!! short, sweet, and now you know it 💖 this lil gem comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026 — mwah, sending you off with a 🎀 and a ⭐, go forth and add those big buffer cloud filters, bestie 🦋💜
