ice_dcb_need_recfg(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_dcb_need_recfg — a Kernel API Manual moment (that's the ice_dcb_need_recfg(9) manual page bestie, we're in the kernel API docs today ✨)

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the ice driver, you've got a board private struct in one hand and two DCB configs in the other, and you just need to know — does this thing need a reconfig or not? That's literally the whole job of this function. She's a little bool-returning icon and she ate. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ice_dcb_need_recfg — check if DCB needs reconfig. That's it. That's the vibe check. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ice_dcb_need_recfg (struct ice_pf *pf , struct ice_dcbx_cfg
*old_cfg , struct ice_dcbx_cfg *new_cfg );

Like, she takes three pointers and hands you back a bool. No cap. 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • pf — the board private structure, aka the main character of this whole driver situation 👑
  • old_cfg — the current DCB config, the "before" pic 📸
  • new_cfg — the new DCB config, the glow-up we're comparing against ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

First up, the kernel file she lives in — go say hi, she's literally right there:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_dcb_lib.c

And then the whole friend group, because nobody in this driver does anything alone 🫶:

That's twenty-four besties, count 'em. Go read all of them, iykyk 😭💜
