💅 ice_create_prof_id_vsig(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_create_prof_id_vsig, page 9 of the Kernel API Manual. she's short, she's sweet, she does exactly one thing, and honestly? iconic for it. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_create_prof_id_vsig — adds a brand new VSIG to the world, and that VSIG comes with a single profile riding shotgun. that's it, that's the whole job. one VSIG, one profile, no cap. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_create_prof_id_vsig (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_block blk ,
u16 vsi , u64 hdl , struct list_head *chg );

like, look at her. returns an int, takes five things, absolutely not here to waste your time. 💜

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

okay so here's the receipt on every single parameter, no skipping, we respect the API in this house 🫶

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. she's the hardware, she's the main character, everything flows through her. 🖥️
  • blk — the hardware block. which block? the enum ice_block one. yes that's the whole description, love that for us.
  • vsi — the initial VSI that will be in the VSIG. she's the first one in the group chat. 🎀
  • hdl — the profile handle of the profile that will be added to the VSIG. (u64, so she's fancy.) ⭐
  • chg — the change list. hand over a struct list_head * and the changes get tracked. 🔥
fr fr, all five are required — there's no "just vibe and pass two of them" here. 💀
