i40e_set_vf_link_state(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

Okay bestie, welcome to the i40e kernel API manual page for i40e_set_vf_link_state — yes, a function name that long, and yes, she ate 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

i40e_set_vf_link_state —

Real talk: the original page literally leaves the description blank after the dash. Nothin'. Empty. So the only thing we know from NAME is the name itself, and honestly that's iconic in a lazy-girl way 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_set_vf_link_state (struct i40e_vf *vf , struct virtchnl_pf_event *pfe , struct i40e_link_status *ls );

She returns void, she takes three pointers, she's booked and busy ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vf — a pointer to the VF structure, aka the Virtual Function we're doing all this for 💖
  • pfe — a pointer to the PF event structure, the Physical Function's little event envelope 📨
  • ls — a pointer to the link status structure, where the link vibes live 🌈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

It sets a link state on a single VF. That's it, that's the whole sentence — one (1) VF, one (1) link state, no cap. Short, sweet, and to the point, unlike some other pages I could name 😭

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

Grab a snack bestie, this list is long — but every single one of these is part of the squad, so here we go, in order:

Notice there's also a i40e_ndo_set_vf_link_state(9) in there — very "sibling with a similar name" energy, don't mix them up bestie 🙈

And that's the whole page! 🌟 This little cutie lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and this edition is dated October 2026. Mwah, go read some kernel source 💋🎀🦋
