i40e_vc_get_rss_hashcfg(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

i40e_vc_get_rss_hashcfg β€” bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (section 9, if the (9) wasn't a giveaway πŸ’…).

Real talk: the description slot after the dash in the original is literally empty. Not "I forgot to write it" empty β€” canonically, officially empty. So we're gonna get all the tea from the sections below instead. No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int i40e_vc_get_rss_hashcfg (struct i40e_vf *vf , u8 *msg );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • vf β€” pointer to the VF info 🫢 (this is the virtual function's little info bundle, she's the main character here)
  • msg β€” pointer to the msg buffer ✨ (the message buffer itself, just vibing and holding bytes)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

Okay so what does she actually do? She returns the RSS Hash configuration bits allowed by the hardware. That's it. That's the whole gig, and honestly? Iconic. 🌈

Like, the hardware has opinions about which RSS hash config bits it'll accept, and this function is the one that hands that info back to you. Lowkey a queen for that. πŸ‘‘

Heads up bestie: the original page gives us exactly that one sentence, so don't go inventing extra lore β€” this is the whole description, periodt. πŸ’€

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

Not me about to list the entire extended friend group 😭 β€” every single one of these is a real reference, and I'm not dropping a single name:

And the source file itself, obviously, lives at:

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

That's Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_virtchnl_pf.c if you want the full official phrasing πŸ’œ

β˜†ε½‘ okay that's the whole page bestie β€” this little gem comes from the Kernel API Manual, source tree ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and the page signs off as i40e_vc_get_rss_hashcfg(9). Go forth and hash responsibly πŸ§šπŸ’–βœ¨
