ice_aq_get_rss_key(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 ice_aq_get_rss_key(9) 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and bestie… it's a small one. one function, three args, and then a SEE ALSO list that is genuinely the entire friend group. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_aq_get_rss_key — and that's it 😭 the manpage literally leaves the description blank after the dash. no tagline, no elevator pitch, nothing. she said "my work speaks for itself." iconic honestly. (the actual one-liner is down in DESCRIPTION, keep scrolling 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_aq_get_rss_key (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 vsi_handle , struct
       ice_aqc_get_set_rss_keys *key );

that's the whole signature — returns an int, takes three things, no cap. note the little space before those commas, that's just how the page renders it, we do not touch it 💀

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

three of them, let's meet the cast:

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. your hardware era. the main character of the whole page honestly 👑
  • vsi_handle — software VSI handle. it's the software-side name tag for a VSI, iykyk 🎀
  • key — pointer to key info struct. yes it's called key, yes it's a pointer to struct ice_aqc_get_set_rss_keys, no it's not a secret, it's an RSS key, okurrr 🔑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

get the RSS key per VSI ✨

that's the whole thing. that's the vibe. per-VSI. every VSI gets its own key and this function goes and fetches it. simple, clean, slay 🌸

ngl the page doesn't spell out return values, error codes, or locking here — so i'm not gonna invent them. if you need that deets, the source file below is where the truth lives 🫶

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

the kernel file this page points at:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_common.c

and now… the full squad. literally the entire ice driver roll call, i'm not skipping a single one of them, every name stays exactly as-is:

that's 150-ish besties and yes i listed every single one, we do NOT do "etc." in this house 💀✨

🧚 a lil sign-off 🧚

this page lives over in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and it's dated October 2026 — go off, future manpage 🌈💜

go get those RSS keys, bestie. per VSI. respectfully. periodt 💅🎀
