i40e_vsi_link_event(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is i40e_vsi_link_event — yes, the (9) is part of her full name, she's a section-9 girlie. Let me tell you literally everything about her, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_vsi_link_event — notify VSI of a link event

that's it, that's the whole job. she's a messenger. she tells a VSI that something happened with the link 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_vsi_link_event (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , bool link_up );

look at her. void return, so she doesn't report back — she just does the thing and dips. 💅 two arguments, one struct pointer, one bool. iconic.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vsi — the vsi to be notified. this is the one getting the message, the recipient of the group chat DM 🫶
  • link_up — link up or down. yes, that's the whole bit. true/up or false/down, the vibe check of the network cable 😭
heads up bestie: that's genuinely all the original page says about these two. it does not spell out anything more, so i'm not gonna invent lore for you. we keep the facts, we just serve them cute. 💖

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so this is the part where she tags literally everyone she knows in the post. the source file lives here:

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

and now, the full friend list, in the exact order the page gives them — no skipping, no summarising, she said everyone gets a mention:

like… she knows everybody. the whole driver is her mutuals. 😭💜

and that's the page bestie!! 🎀✨ this lil gem lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, stamped October 2026 — so go forth, notify that VSI, and stan a section-9 icon. mwah 💋🦋
