ice_adv_add_update_vsi_list(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

hey bestie!! welcome to the ice_adv_add_update_vsi_list(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 The original NAME line is literally just ice_adv_add_update_vsi_list - with no description after the dash. No cap, that's the whole NAME vibe: just the name and a little dash. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ok so here's the exact signature, keep it character-for-character:

int ice_adv_add_update_vsi_list (struct ice_hw *hw , struct
       ice_adv_fltr_mgmt_list_entry *m_entry , struct ice_adv_rule_info
       *cur_fltr , struct ice_adv_rule_info *new_fltr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

four arguments, bestie, and yes we're keeping every name exactly:

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure
• m_entry — pointer to current adv filter management list entry
• cur_fltr — filter information from the book keeping entry
• new_fltr — filter information with the new VSI to be added

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so this function calls the AQ command to add or update a previously created VSI list with a new VSI. It's also a helper function that does the book keeping associated with adding filter information. The algorithm for that book keeping is described below, and we're keeping all of it:

1. When a VSI needs to subscribe to a given advanced filter if only one VSI has been added till now: allocate a new VSI list and add two VSIs to this list using switch rule command.
2. Update the previously created switch rule with the newly created VSI list ID if a VSI list was previously created.
3. Add the new VSI to the previously created VSI list set using the update switch rule command.
