💅 i40e_vsi_enable_tx, the group-chat breakdown

okay so bestie, you clicked into i40e_vsi_enable_tx, and this page is from the Linux Kernel API Manual, section 9 — the kernel-dev corner of the internet, iykyk. Sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, this one is literally one function and she's iconic for it.

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_vsi_enable_tx — start a VSI's rings. That's it, that's the whole job. She turns the transmit rings on and she does not overthink it 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int i40e_vsi_enable_tx (struct i40e_vsi *vsi );

Yes the space before the closing paren is part of the vibe (and part of the exact signature, don't come for me 🙈).

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • vsi — the VSI being configured. That's the whole argument list, queen didn't need a second one ✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

First up, the source file this whole family lives in, no cap:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c

and then the absolute legend list of sibling pages, all in section 9, in the exact order the manpage gives them because I would never rearrange the friend group:

That's the whole extended friend group and yes I listed every single one, because leaving one out would be so rude 💀

🫶 that's the page, bestie. Signing off with the receipts: this one ships from the source dir ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026. Go read the source, slay your rings, and remember — love your VSI, enable her TX 💖✨
