ice_aq_ver_check(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

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

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_aq_ver_check(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is short and sweet but she MATTERS, so pay attention 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_aq_ver_check — the vibe-check function that looks at the reported AQ API version 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ice_aq_ver_check (struct ice_hw *hw );

that's it. one argument. one bool coming back at you. lowkey iconic 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure 🫶 that's the whole thing, she's literally just handing you the hardware struct and saying "go off."

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she actually do? she checks if the driver should load on a given AQ API version 🔥 that's the whole assignment. no cap, that's the entire description. she's the bouncer at the club door going "mm, what version are you on, bestie?" and deciding whether the driver gets in or not 💀

🎀 RETURN 🎀

okay this is the part where the original page is literally just... blank 😭 no return description given, nothing, silence, crickets 🦗 we know from the synopsis that it returns a bool and that's genuinely all she wrote. not me leaving the RETURN section empty too 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole control-queue friend group, fr fr — first the source file:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_controlq.c

and then every single one of these besties 👇 (yes, all 33, I'm not skipping a single one, that's not the energy we're on today 💅):

and that's the page, bestie 🫶 this lil cutie lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, she's dated October 2026, and she answers to the name ice_aq_ver_check(9) — mwah, slay, periodt 💖✨
