ice_add_entr...si_fltr_list(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ice_add_entr...si_fltr_list(9) — the function is ice_add_entry_to_vsi_fltr_list, and it literally adds a copy of a fltr_list_entry to the remove list 💅.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_add_entry_to_vsi_fltr_list (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 vsi_handle ,
       struct list_head *vsi_list_head , struct ice_fltr_info *fi );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure, aka the hardware bestie in question 🫶
• vsi_handle — the VSI handle to remove filters from, yep that exact one 🎯
• vsi_list_head — pointer to the list to add the entry to, no cap 📋
• fi — pointer to the fltr_info of the filter entry to copy & add; it's giving source-entry energy ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this is a helper function, bestie — it gets used when you're creating a list of filters to remove from a specific VSI 🧚.

The entry added to vsi_list_head is a COPY of the original filter entry — not the original itself, periodt — with two exceptions: fltr_info.fltr_act and fltr_info.fwd_id. Those fields are set so that later logic can extract which VSI to remove the fltr from, and pass on that information. The way that works is genuinely iconic 💅.
