i40e_ndo_set_vf_trust(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 i40e_ndo_set_vf_trust — from the Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, this one is a kernel API page, aka i40e_ndo_set_vf_trust(9) — it lives in the manual, the vibe is very "deep in the Intel NIC mines", and lowkey it's a tiny little function with a very long friend list. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_ndo_set_vf_trust — and honestly the original leaves the description blank here?? iconic behavior, no notes, the name really does speak for itself 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int i40e_ndo_set_vf_trust (struct net_device *netdev , int vf_id , bool
setting );

that's the whole signature, bestie — three args, returns an int, slay ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • netdev — the network interface device structure of the pf. like, the physical function's whole identity card 🫶
  • vf_id — the VF identifier. which virtual function are we talking about, bestie, be specific 💜
  • setting — the trust setting. a bool, so it's giving yes/no, on/off, trusted/not-trusted 🎀

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

Enable or disable VF trust setting. that's it. that's the whole description. truly a "short king" of a DESCRIPTION section 👑

so basically: you flip the trust switch on a given VF, either on or off, and that's the job. no cap 🧚

ngl the manpage gives us zero extra lore here — no warnings, no error codes, no defaults, no env vars, no exit statuses. this function is mysterious and it knows it 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the part where the page just absolutely spills — huge main character energy. first up, the kernel file it lives in:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_virtchnl_pf.c

and then the whole extended friend group, in order, fr fr:

like… 100+ references?? she said "you WILL know my whole social circle" 😭 iykyk.

🫶 the cute sign-off 🫶

and that's the page, bestie!! this one came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e back in October 2026 — big day for the i40e girlies ⭐ go forth and toggle your VF trust settings responsibly, mwah 💖🎀🦋
