ice_chk_pkg_version(9)

💖 ice_chk_pkg_version(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_chk_pkg_version(9) from the Kernel API Manual 🧚✨ — yes that's a section 9 page, yes it's about the ice driver, and yes we're gonna get through it together. grab a lil snack 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_chk_pkg_version — literally just checks whether a package version is compatible with the driver 🫶 that's the whole gig, no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum ice_ddp_state ice_chk_pkg_version (struct ice_pkg_ver *pkg_ver );

like, it takes one thing and gives you back an enum ice_ddp_state. simple. iconic. periodt 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pkg_ver — a pointer to a version structure that we're gonna check 👑 that's it, that's the argument.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe check 🔥 — this function makes sure the package that's about to be downloaded is actually compatible with the driver. like, we are NOT letting a mismatched package sneak in, bestie, that's giving chaos energy 💀

and to be compatible? the major and minor components of the package version have to match our ICE_PKG_SUPP_VER_MAJ and ICE_PKG_SUPP_VER_MNR definitions 💖 both of them. no shortcuts. iykyk.

fr fr, it's just major + minor matching those two defines — nothing else is part of the compatibility test on this page 🌈
