i40e_prune_flex_pit_list(9)

💖 i40e_prune_flex_pit_list(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel API manual, section 9, and you stumble onto i40e_prune_flex_pit_list. it's giving "niche but essential" and honestly? we're obsessed. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_prune_flex_pit_list — the cleanup queen 👑 she goes through the FLX_PIT table and removes the entries nobody's using anymore. no cap, she's literally the "unsubscribe from that list you never read" of kernel functions.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void i40e_prune_flex_pit_list (struct i40e_pf *pf );

that's it. that's the whole call signature. short, sweet, and to the point 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• pf — pointer to the PF structure. yes queen, hand her the PF struct and she'll take it from there 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the vibe check: this function searches the list of filters and figures out which FLX_PIT entries are still actually required. then — and this is the main character moment — it prunes any entries which are no longer in use after the deletion. 🧹✨

like, she's not out here deleting things randomly, she does her research first, checks what's still needed, and only then clears out the leftovers. thorough. iconic. periodt. 🔥

okay bestie, buckle up, because this list is long — the whole ethtool-adjacent family tree is here and we're not skipping a single one, iykyk 😭

quick reminder bestie: she prunes based on what's no longer in use after the deletion — she's not the one doing the deleting, she's the one tidying up after 💅

okay that's the whole page, you ate that 🍓 and for the sign-off credits: this lil masterpiece lives in the kernel source at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026 — and it's the i40e_prune_flex_pit_list(9) page in the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go forth and prune responsibly 💖✨🦋
