🌸 i40e_vc_add_cloud_filter(9) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a little function in the Intel i40e driver that adds a cloud filter, and yes we're gonna go through it properly.

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_vc_add_cloud_filter —

real talk, the original literally ends at the dash 🫠 no description, nothing. So the name's all we got up here. iconic behaviour, honestly.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int i40e_vc_add_cloud_filter (struct i40e_vf *vf , u8 *msg );

it returns an int, it takes a struct i40e_vf * called vf, and a u8 * called msg. that's the whole shape of it, no cap ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vf — pointer to the VF info. (VF = virtual function, she's the virtual side of things 💜)
  • msg — pointer to the msg buffer.

both of these are pointers, both of them matter, don't skip either one 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she actually do? this function adds a cloud filter programmed as TC filter for ADq. that's the whole vibe. she adds the cloud filter, it's set up as a TC filter, and it's for ADq. periodt 🔥

no cap this is the entire description in the original — short and sweet, main character energy with zero filler 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is the part where the manpage goes absolutely feral 😭 like she did NOT hold back. first up, the file:

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

and then the entire extended family, in this exact order, every single one:

like… ninety-something cross references 😭 she said "you WILL know the whole driver" and honestly? respect. iykyk 🔥

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶

cute little sign-off for the credits: this one lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and the page itself is i40e_vc_add_cloud_filter(9) — go forth and add those cloud filters, you absolute icon 👑💜
