📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_alloc_lan_q_ctx(9) — like, the LAN queue context allocator ✨

okay bestie, so you've wandered into the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're being fancy today 🎀) and landed on ice_alloc_lan_q_ctx(9). sit down, hydrate, and let's get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ice_alloc_lan_q_ctx — allocates the LAN queue contexts for the VSI and TC you hand it 🦋 like, it's literally doing the queue-context allocation for the given VSI and TC, that's the whole gig, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_alloc_lan_q_ctx (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 vsi_handle , u8 tc ,
u16 new_numqs );

it returns an int, and it takes four things. that's it. that's the vibe check ✅

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct 💻 your shiny hardware, in struct form, very main character energy.
  • vsi_handle — the VSI handle 🫶 like the little ID badge for which VSI we're talking about.
  • tc — TC number 🌈 which traffic class we're doing this for, no cap.
  • new_numqs — number of queues 🔥 exactly what it sounds like: how many queues you want.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this list is long long, but we do not skip, we do not summarise, we list every single one because that's the rule and honestly? iconic behaviour 💅

also, the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c — go look, iykyk 🦋

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 mwah 💋

okay so this lil manpage came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, hanging out under the Kernel API Manual umbrella — consider it signed, sealed, and slayed 🎀💖✨
