💅 ice_cfg_rl_burst_size(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so. welcome to the group chat, this page is literally about one lil function in the ice driver and the way it's about to make your rate-limiting era iconic. no cap, it's short, so let's go 🌸

✨ NAME ✨

ice_cfg_rl_burst_size — set that burst size value, periodt 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_cfg_rl_burst_size (struct ice_hw *hw , u32 bytes );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. like, the hardware herself 👑
  • bytes — the burst size, in bytes. yeah, literally bytes, iykyk 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function configures/sets the burst size to whatever new value you asked for. the new burst size value is used for future rate limit calls — that's the key part, bestie 👀

and listen. it does not change the existing or previously created RL profiles. like, those profiles already graduated, they're not coming back for a redo 🎓💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

and now, the moment you've all been waiting for… the entire friend group 💜 (yes, all of them, i'm not skipping a single one, we don't do that here):

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 go forth and configure those bursts 💖
