📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_add_prof_id_flow(9) — the group-chat guide 💖

okay so bestie, buckle up, because this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and we're gonna make it make sense. It's called ice_add_prof_id_flow and honestly? It's giving "quiet little function that does a lot of heavy lifting." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_add_prof_id_flow — add profile flow, literally what it says on the tin 🎀

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int ice_add_prof_id_flow (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_block blk , u16
vsi , u64 hdl );

four arguments, one int coming back at you. that's the whole vibe check 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. like, the actual hardware, bestie 🫶
  • blk — the hardware block. yes, enum ice_block, no we're not getting into it here
  • vsi — the VSI you wanna enable with the profile specified by ID
  • hdl — profile handle. your golden ticket 🎟️

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so when you call this function, what happens is it updates the hardware tables to enable the profile that the ID parameter points at — for the VSIs you named in the VSI array. not me explaining hardware table updates like it's nothing 😭

and once it's been called successfully? the flow is enabled. periodt. ✨

ngl, the whole flex here is that "once successfully called" caveat — read it, respect it, don't assume success without checking your return value 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_flex_pipe.c — go say hi 🧚

and here's the entire friend group, no cap, nobody left out:

🎀 ok that's the page 🎀

this one comes out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026 — so yeah, future-dated manpage, main character energy fr fr. go enable some flows bestie, ily 💜🦋🌸
