ice_create_vf_entries(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ ice_create_vf_entries — NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ice_create_vf_entries(9) glow-up 💅 this is a page straight outta the Kernel API Manual, and it's about the one and only ice_create_vf_entries — aka the function that allocates and inserts VF entries. that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_create_vf_entries (struct ice_pf *pf , u16 num_vfs );

literally that's it. look at her go 😭

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • pf — pointer to the PF structure 🫶 like, the whole PF situation, handed over as a pointer.
  • num_vfs — the number of VFs to allocate. yes ma'am, you decide how many 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what she does is: allocate new VF entries and insert them into the hash table ✨ and while she's at it she sets some basic default fields for initializing the new VFs. lowkey housekeeping, highkey important 💅

and the way this works? after this function exits, the hash table will have num_vfs entries inserted. periodt. that's the guarantee 🎯

she returns 0 on success or an integer error code on failure 😭 so like, always check the return value, bestie, fr fr.
