i40e_aq_add_vsi(9)
π i40e_aq_add_vsi β from the Kernel API Manual
okay bestie, gather round π«Ά this one is a little kernel-API page for i40e_aq_add_vsi, and ngl the whole thing is basically "hand the firmware a VSI context, that's it, that's the function." Short page, big friend group (the SEE ALSO is literally a party). Let's go β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
i40e_aq_add_vsi β
so likeβ¦ the original page just leaves it hanging after the dash π nothing. blank. the description is giving "mysterious main character". the actual tea is in DESCRIPTION below: it adds a VSI context to the hardware. periodt.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
int i40e_aq_add_vsi (struct i40e_hw *hw , struct i40e_vsi_context
*vsi_ctx , struct i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details );
π ARGUMENTS π
hwβ pointer to thehwstruct π (your hardware, your homegirl)vsi_ctxβ pointer to avsi_ctxstruct, i.e. a vsi context struct β¨cmd_detailsβ pointer to a command details structure, orNULLif you're feeling lowkey π
β DESCRIPTION β
Add a VSI context to the hardware. that's it. that's the whole vibe check π
π SEE ALSO π
the kernel file lives here, bestie: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_common.c π
and okay, deep breath, because this list is long β but no skips, we don't do that here, every single one of these is in the squad π

mwah π this little page came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and the date stamp is October 2026 β so yeah, bookmark it, screenshot it, send it to the group chat, and go add that VSI context bestie π¦β¨π
