💅 ice_cfg_q_bw_lmt(9) — like, the queue BW limit one

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the star of the show today is ice_cfg_q_bw_lmt — yes that's a (9) at the end, that's how you know it's kernel-API official ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_cfg_q_bw_lmt — configure queue BW limit 🎀

like literally, it sets the bandwidth limit. that's the whole vibe.

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int ice_cfg_q_bw_lmt (struct ice_port_info *pi , u16 vsi_handle , u8 tc
, u16 q_handle , enum ice_rl_type rl_type , u32 bw );

she returns an int, she takes six arguments, she's booked and busy 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pi — the port information structure 🫶 like, the whole port's little info packet, that's her.
  • vsi_handle — sw VSI handle. that's the software handle for the VSI, no cap.
  • tc — traffic class. which lane we're talking about 🚦
  • q_handle — software queue handle. yes, the software one, don't get it twisted 🙈
  • rl_type — min, max, or shared. those are your three options, pick one, main character energy only 👑
  • bw — bandwidth in Kbps. literally the number, in Kbps, that's the unit 📏

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does she do? this function configures the BW limit of a queue scheduling node. that's it. that's the flex. 🔥

like — queue scheduling node? gets its BW limit configured. by this function. iconic behavior, honestly.

bestie, buckle up, because the friend group here is HUGE — and the kernel file pulling all these strings is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c 🧚

like… that's the whole group chat 😭 every single one of them is in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice — go say hi, they don't bite 🫶

and that's the tea! ☕ this whole page lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and the manual entry herself is ice_cfg_q_bw_lmt(9) 💖 go configure some queue BW limits, bestie — you got this 🎀✨👑
