💅 i40e_setup_vf_trust(9)

okay so bestie, we're deep in the Kernel API Manual today — section 9, kerns-only, no cap ✨ this one's called i40e_setup_vf_trust and it's honestly giving "small function, big responsibility" energy 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_setup_vf_trust — turn VF trust mode on or off without doing a whole reset 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_setup_vf_trust (struct i40e_vf *vf , bool setting );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vf — the VF you're configuring, the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • setting — the trust setting itself. yes we named it that. it's fine. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what this icon actually does: it updates the VF flags when you're changing trust without performing a VF reset 🔥

and before you ask "can I just call it whenever" — no babes 🫶 it is only called when it's safe to skip the reset. specifically: when the VF has no advanced features configured that need cleanup. that's the vibe check it has to pass. literally the whole condition. don't skip it 💀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay this part is a list. like a long list. she ate and kept eating 🌈 seriously, the kernel file is:

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

and then the extended family, all in section 9:

like I said. she's thorough. periodt 💜

that's the whole page bestie, mwah 🫶 this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026 — collect the whole set, they're iconic 🌸💖
