💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ice_alloc_fd_guar_item(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for the function that does exactly this:

ice_alloc_fd_guar_item — allocate resource for FD guaranteed entries ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

it’s giving “C function signature, but make it iconic”:

int ice_alloc_fd_guar_item (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 *cntr_id , u16
       num_fltr );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. literally the hardware hookup, no cap 🫶
• cntr_id — returns counter index. yes bestie, it gives you the counter index back 💫
• num_fltr — number of filter entries to be allocated. that’s how many filter entries we’re allocating, periodt 🎀
