i40e_fdir_filter_restore(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_fdir_filter_restore — okay so this is the kernel API manual for restoring the Sideband Flow Director filters, and honestly? iconic behaviour 💅✨

(section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, bestie — that's the vibe check 🎀)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void i40e_fdir_filter_restore (struct i40e_vsi *vsi );

it returns void, meaning it takes zero notes and gives zero receipts, it just does 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • vsi — a pointer to the targeted VSI. that's it. that's the whole entrance fee 🦋

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so picture this: all your SB Flow Director filters are saved in an hlist, right? she's just sitting there in memory, being her little linked-list self 💀 and this function replays that hlist on the hw. literally the whole hlist, on the hw, where they were all saved. no cap, that's the entire job and she ate 👑

think of it as the hw getting caught up on the group chat it missed — except the group chat is filters and the lil message bubbles are hlist entries 🧚

it returns nothing, it takes nothing back. pure generosity, main character energy fr fr 💜

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 this lil beauty ships out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and she's stamped October 2026 — that's the source dir and the date, bestie, so you always know where she came from 🎀✨🦋 go restore some filters, you absolute icon 🌈👑💜
