💅 iavf_fdir_del_fltr(9) — a lil Kernel API Manual moment

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for iavf_fdir_del_fltr(9) 💖 yes the manual name is literally part of the title, we're fancy like that. this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of a baddie — it's the "yeet the filter" function, and she's giving cleanup main character energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

iavf_fdir_del_fltr — deletes a flow director filter from the list 🗑️💅 like, goodbye filter, we hardly knew ye, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int iavf_fdir_del_fltr (struct iavf_adapter *adapter , bool is_raw , u32 data );

that's the whole vibe. three args, one int return, iconic behavior 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adapter — pointer to the VF adapter structure ✨ it's the whole adapter situation, you gotta hand her over so she knows which list we're deleting from 🫶
  • is_raw — filter type, is raw (tc u32) or not (ethtool) 🌈 so like, is this a raw filter or not? tc u32 says raw, ethtool says not raw. she needs to know the flavor before she acts 💅
  • data — data to ID the filter, type dependent 👑 literally the data that identifies the filter, and what exactly that data looks like depends on the type, so don't come at her with the wrong shape 🙈

😭 RETURN 😭

0 on success 🎉 or a negative errno on failure 💀 that's it, that's the whole mood. no extra lore.

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

okay this is the part where she tags all her friends, and there are so many of them, she's popular fr fr 💖

like I said. a whole group chat 🫶 and yes, iavf_fdir_add_fltr(9) is here too — she's the delete girlie's counterpart, they're a matched set, we stan a balanced pair 💜

bestie reminder: this one just deletes a filter from the list. everything else is a different function's job. keep it in its lane and it'll keep returning 0 for you ✨

and that's the page!! 🎀 brought to you by the <italic>./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf</italic> corner of the kernel, October 2026 edition, filed under iavf_fdir_del_fltr(9) — mwah, go delete some filters responsibly, ily 💖🌈🦋
