💅 i40e_down(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to i40e_down, a page from the kernel API manual (that's the 9 section babe, kernel internals only, no userland nonsense). It does exactly one thing and it does it with main-character energy. Let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_down — Shutdown the connection processing 🛑

Like, that's the whole vibe. It shuts down connection processing. Iconic, minimal, no notes.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void i40e_down (struct i40e_vsi *vsi );

Not me copy-pasting this exactly because the spacing before that closing paren is part of the original and I refuse to mess with it 😭 void, no return value, one argument, periodt.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vsi — the VSI being stopped. That's your VSI. The one you're shutting down. She's the main character here fr fr 🫶
iykyk: vsi = virtual station interface, and this is the one getting stopped. No cap, that's what the page says and that's all it says.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

bestie. bestie. sit down. this list is MASSIVE and we are not skipping a single one, because every single one of these is a real entry and I love them all 💀

  • The source file itself: Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c

and now, the roster 👑

like… that's the whole friend group and they ALL showed up 🫶 no gatekeeping on this page.

and that's the page!! mwah 💜

This little icon comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026 (yes, October 2026, she's from the future bestie 🦋) — and that's the version/source/date sign-off, exactly as the footer says. bye babe, go shut down some connection processing responsibly 💅✨
