i40e_validate_cloud_filter(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manpage for i40e_validate_cloud_filter — a function in the Kernel API Manual. and yes, the description slot in the NAME section is literally empty in the source. not a typo, not me being lazy, it's just vibes. the name is the whole personality here. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_validate_cloud_filter (struct i40e_vf *vf , struct
virtchnl_filter *tc_filter );

she takes two pointers and hands you back an int. that's it, that's the whole signature. 🦋

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • vf — pointer to VF structure. yep, the VF struct. that's what the original says and i'm not gonna make stuff up about it 💅
  • tc_filter — pointer to filter requested. the filter you're asking about, lowkey the main character of this function 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she actually do? the manual is short and sweet on this one: this function validates cloud filter programmed as TC filter for ADq. (and yeah, ADq is spelled exactly like that in the source — capital A, capital D, lowercase q. iykyk, don't come for me 💀)

that's genuinely the entire description. no extra lore, no secret bonus paragraphs. sometimes a function is just a function and she ate regardless ✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the file this all lives in:

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

and now, the extended family — yes, all of them, i would never do you dirty by trimming the list 😭:

like, the whole friend group showed up. every single one. no gatekeeping 💜

ngl bestie, this one's a short read — the description is one line and the SEE ALSO is doing ALL the heavy lifting. iconic behavior honestly 👑

and that's a wrap!! this came out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's filed under i40e_validate_cloud_filter(9) in the Kernel API Manual. go forth and validate those cloud filters, you absolute legend 🌈💖✨
