i40e_free_vfs(9)

🌸 i40e_free_vfs(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the <purple>Kernel API Manual</purple> ✨ — this is one of those tiny little entries that does exactly one thing and does it flawlessly, and honestly? we love a low-drama icon 💅

---

🎀 NAME

i40e_free_vfs — so, funny thing: the original NAME line is literally just the function name with nothing after the dash. no blurb, no tagline. she's mysterious like that 🙈 (it's giving "my bio is just my name" main character energy 👑)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

void i40e_free_vfs (struct i40e_pf *pf );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. void return, one arg, no notes 🦋

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS

• pf — pointer to the PF structure 💖 (as in Physical Function — the big boss NIC function that's out here handing out VF resources, iykyk)

---

💫 DESCRIPTION

free VF resources 😌

fr fr, that's the whole description. it frees the VF (Virtual Function) resources. no cap, no extra lore, no secret side quests — the original says it in four words and we respect the efficiency 🔥

---

🌈 SEE ALSO

okay this is where the page goes feral — the SEE ALSO section is a whole group chat of i40e functions and every single one of them is invited 🎉 here they all are, in the exact order the original lists them, plus the kernel file they live in:

ngl, if you're poking at i40e_free_vfs you're probably already deep in SR-IOV territory — and yeah, this page really is this short. some manpages are whole novels, this one is a text message. and that's iconic 🎀

and that's a wrap bestie! 🦋 this little love letter lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated <lavender>October 2026</lavender>, manual name <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink>, page i40e_free_vfs(9) — mwah, see you in the next one 💖✨🍓
