ice_add_marker_act(9)

💖 ice_add_marker_act(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the Kernel API Manual — and this little icon is all about tagging stuff with a software marker and making a big-action glow-up happen. no cap, it's giving "tiny function, very specific job." 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_add_marker_act (struct ice_hw *hw , struct
ice_fltr_mgmt_list_entry *m_ent , u16 sw_marker , u16 l_id );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure, literally the hardware bestie in question 💅
• m_ent — the management entry for which sw marker needs to be added
• sw_marker — sw marker to tag the Rx descriptor with 🏷️
• l_id — large action resource ID

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: this function creates a large action to hold the software marker, and then it updates the switch rule entry pointed to by m_ent with that newly created large action. slay. ✨

like, it's not doing a million things — it's doing exactly that. and honestly? iconic. 👑

ok that's the whole friend group right there — every single one of those (9) cross-refs, no skips, no "and friends." we listed them all because we respect the lore. 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie! this one comes from the kernel source at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and the manual path is ice_add_marker_act(9). go forth and add those markers 💖✨🎀
