💅 ice_aq_add_rl_profile(9) — the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense 🎀

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel API manual today and the function we're stanning is ice_aq_add_rl_profile(9). Yes it's a mouthful, no you don't have to say it out loud. It lives in the kernel API manual, it's an Intel ice driver thing, and it's literally about adding rate limiting profiles. slay. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_aq_add_rl_profile — adds rate limiting profile(s). that's it, that's the whole vibe. it adds RL profile(s). 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_aq_add_rl_profile (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 num_profiles , struct
ice_aqc_rl_profile_elem *buf , u16 buf_size , u16 *num_profiles_added ,
struct ice_sq_cd *cd );

look at her. six parameters, one int coming back to you. main character energy honestly. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so every single one of these matters, do not skip, this is the whole group chat:

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. the hardware homie. everything starts here.
  • num_profiles — the number of profile(s) to be add. yes, "to be add", that's verbatim, we don't fix the king's grammar, we just report it. it's the count of profiles you're adding. 🍓
  • buf — pointer to buffer. the actual data lives here.
  • buf_size — buffer size in bytes. bytes, bestie. bytes.
  • num_profiles_added — total number of profiles added, returned to you. it's an out-param, so she gives back. 🫶
  • cd — pointer to command details structure. the admin of the group chat.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Add RL profile (0x0410).

that's the opcode, 0x0410, memorize it or at least recognize it at a party. this is the "please add my rate limiting profile(s)" command and it is iconic. 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the part where the entire friend group shows up. the kernel file is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c — go read it, it's giving lore. and then, in order, no cap, all of these:

like. that's the whole roster. every single one of them, iykyk. 💜

okay that's the page!! one last thing, the cute sign-off: this whole thing comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and it's dated October 2026, and the page itself is ice_aq_add_rl_profile(9). periodt. go add some rate limiting profiles bestie, you got this 💖✨🎀🦋🌸
