i40e_valida...ter_settings(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this page is i40e_valida...ter_settings(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and the function it's hyping up is i40e_validate_filter_settings — that's literally the whole name, bestie, no long subtitle on this one 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_validate_filter_settings (struct i40e_hw *hw , struct
       i40e_filter_control_settings *settings );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure, bestie. it's giving "here's the hardware, go off."
  • settings — Filter control settings. yes ma'am, the settings we're about to vibe-check 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does it do? it checks and validates the filter control settings you passed in. the function is looking for valid filter/context sizes being passed for FCoE and PE — that's the whole assignment, no cap ✨

it returns 0 if the values passed are valid and within range, else it returns an error. so like, 0 is the slay outcome and anything else is the "bestie, no" outcome 😭

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file is literally right here: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_common.c — iconic.

and the whole extended i40e family pulled up too, periodt:

and for the cute sign-off 🫶 this page's footer said source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, in the Kernel API Manual. bye bestie, go validate those filter settings 💖
