iavf_config_rss(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ iavf_config_rss(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes bestie, the iavf_config_rss(9) one, the Intel VF driver corner of the kernel 🦋

💖 NAME 💖

iavf_config_rss — configure RSS keys and lut 🎀

like, it sets up the Receive Side Scaling key and lookup table. that's the whole vibe.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int iavf_config_rss (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • adapter — the board private structure 💅 that's it, that's the whole argument list, she's low maintenance.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so real talk, the entire documented behaviour here is the return value, and it's giving very concise:

  • returns 0 on success 👑
  • returns a negative value on failure 😭

that's literally it, no cap. no extra lore, no secret side quests documented. if it works it's 0, if it doesn't it's negative. periodt 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the kernel file where all this lives, fr fr:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf/iavf_main.c

and then the extended iavf family reunion 👑 — i'm listing every single one, chunked up so you can actually scroll, order preserved, no skipping, no summarising:

like i said — every single one, we don't gatekeep here 🫶 also note iavf_allocate_dma_mem_d(9) really does have that trailing _d, i didn't typo it and you shouldn't "fix" it either 💀

💡 little reminder bestie: the only documented failure info is "negative on failure" — no errno list, no caveats, no nothing. don't go inventing error codes, that's not the vibe 🙈

and that's the whole page!! 🎀 written from the ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf source tree, dated October 2026 — see you in the next man page, mwah 💜🦋🍓
