✨ ice_aq_is_dvm_ena(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ice_aq_is_dvm_ena(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one's a little one-shot query function and honestly? she's giving "ask the firmware a yes/no question" main character energy. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_aq_is_dvm_ena — query FW to check if double VLAN mode is enabled 🔥

like, that's literally the whole job. you ask the firmware, it tells you. no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ice_aq_is_dvm_ena (struct ice_hw *hw );

one function, one argument, returns a bool. simple. elegant. iconic. ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 💖 this is your hardware-stuff handoff, the thing you pass in so the function knows which HW to go interrogate.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function returns true if the hardware/firmware is configured in double VLAN mode, and otherwise returns false, which signals that the hardware/firmware is configured in single VLAN mode. that's the whole vibe check 🦋

also (and this part matters, bestie 👀): it returns false if this call fails for any reason — i.e. firmware doesn't support this AQ call. so like, "false" can mean "nope, single VLAN mode" or "nope, couldn't even ask". iykyk 😭

no cap on that last bit — a failure gives you false, same as single VLAN mode does. don't go assuming a false means the firmware definitely said "single VLAN". 🙈
