📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 i40e_aq_get_veb_parameters 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's about peeking at a VEB and pulling all its lil parameters out. it's giving "ask the firmware nicely and it tells you everything" energy 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_aq_get_veb_parameters — retrieve VEB parameters 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_aq_get_veb_parameters (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 veb_seid , u16
*switch_id , bool *floating , u16 *statistic_index , u16 *vebs_used ,
u16 *vebs_free , struct i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details );

like, yes, that's a lot of arguments. no cap, it's eight. we're gonna go through every single one 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct 🖥️ the main character, honestly.
  • veb_seid — the SEID of the VEB to query 🔍 this is the one you're asking about.
  • switch_id — the uplink switch id 🌈
  • floating — set to true if the VEB is floating ☁️ literally floating. iconic.
  • statistic_index — index of the stats counter block for this VEB 📊 so you know where the numbers live.
  • vebs_used — number of VEB's used by function 👑
  • vebs_free — total VEB's not reserved by any function 🍓 the leftovers, basically.
  • cmd_details — pointer to command details structure or NULL 📎 NULL is totally valid here, don't stress.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the tea 🍵 — this call retrieves the parameters for a particular VEB, specified by uplink_seid, and returns them to the caller. that's the whole vibe. you point at a VEB, it hands you back the goods. ✨

ngl that's genuinely all there is to it — no hidden lore, no secret behaviours, just a straight-up retrieval 🎀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

starting with the actual kernel file this lives in, bestie:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_common.c 📁

and now… the friend group. the whole friend group. every single one of them, in order, no skips 🫶

fr fr that's the entire list — every single one accounted for, no gatekeeping 💀

and that's the page, bestie!! 💜 this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's filed under i40e_aq_get_veb_parameters(9) in the Kernel API Manual 🎀 go get those VEB parameters, you absolute icon 👑✨
