πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… i40e_ctrl_vf_rx_rings(9) πŸ’…

okay bestie, buckle up β€” this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving "small function, big friend group" energy. We're talking about i40e_ctrl_vf_rx_rings, one lil' helper in the Intel i40e driver fam that flips receive rings on or off for a VF. Short function, but the SEE ALSO list? Absolutely unhinged (affectionate). Let's go 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

so the NAME line is literally i40e_ctrl_vf_rx_rings β€” dash β€” and then… nothing. That's it. That's the whole name. No tagline, no little blurb. She said "my name is enough" and honestly? Main character energy πŸ‘‘πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole entire vibe of the function signature, bestie β€” verbatim, don't touch it:

int i40e_ctrl_vf_rx_rings (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , unsigned long q_map ,
       bool enable );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

three args, three lil' besties, each one carrying its own weight πŸ’–

  • vsi β€” the SRIOV VSI that's getting configured. this is the thing we're doing the whole operation to, okay, she's the main character here 🌸
  • q_map β€” a bit map of the queues we wanna enable. think of it as a little checklist in binary form β€” each bit is like "this queue? yes bestie πŸ’…" πŸŽ€
  • enable β€” start or stop the queue. that's the whole switch. the on/off. the bool of destiny ⭐
ngl the whole function is basically: "here's a VSI, here's which queues, and here's whether we're turning them on or off." no cap, that's the tea β˜•

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

the source file lives right here:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_virtchnl_pf.c

and then β€” okay β€” the cross-reference list. it's 95 entries long. ninety-five. she did NOT hold back 😭πŸ”₯ iykyk. every single one, in order, no skips:

like. that's the whole friend group. every single one showed up to the party πŸŽ‰πŸ¦‹


that's the page, bestie β€” short function, huge social circle. go read the sisters and cousins if you wanna know the whole lore, fr fr 🌈

mwah πŸ’‹ this one's from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026 β€” see u in the next manpage, love u, bye πŸŽ€βœ¨
