okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the function under the spotlight is i40e_parse_cls_flower 💅 it's lowkey the vibe-checker that reads the tc flower filters the kernel hands over — no cap, that's literally the whole job.

heads up bestie: this page gives you the function's signature, what each argument points at, and where to go read the source — it does not promise anything about return values or behaviour beyond that, so don't come for me 🙈 the real answers live in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c.
