ice_arfs_add_flow_rules(9)

🌸 ice_arfs_add_flow_rules — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_arfs_add_flow_rules(9) — she's a void, she takes two args, and she is literally the girl who gets the flow rules from HW sorted 💅

---

💖 NAME 💖

ice_arfs_add_flow_rules — add the rules passed in from HW 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_arfs_add_flow_rules (struct ice_vsi *vsi , struct hlist_head
       *add_list_head );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no cap 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vsi — the VSI for the flow rules that need to be added 👑 like, this is the vibe check of which VSI we're doing this for
• add_list_head — head of the list of ice_arfs_entry_ptr(s) for rule addition 🌸 so it's the head pointer, and the list is full of ice_arfs_entry_ptr nodes waiting to get added

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so here's the tea, bestie: she loops through the add list you passed in and removes the rules from HW 🔥 after each rule is added, she disconnects and frees the ice_arfs_entry_ptr node — yep, node's done, bye girl 💀

⚠️ but do NOT free the ice_arfs_entry(s), okay?? 😭 they're still being referenced in the aRFS hash table. they are booked and busy. leave them alone fr fr
