💅 ice_download_pkg(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel API manual today, and this page is all about ice_download_pkg(9). It's a kernel-level thing, function number 9, and it's honestly giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy. Let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_download_pkg —

and that's... literally it lmao 😭 the original page doesn't give a one-liner here, it just vibes and leaves the description field empty. No name blurb, no nothing. Iconic of it, honestly. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum ice_ddp_state ice_download_pkg (struct ice_hw *hw , struct
ice_pkg_hdr *pkg_hdr , struct ice_seg *ice_seg );

so it hands you back an enum ice_ddp_state — that's the vibe check result of the download — and it takes three pointers. Copy that exactly, no cap, don't be out here retyping it from memory 💀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. the main character, the hardware itself, pls respect her 👑
  • pkg_hdr — pointer to package header. the header of the package, i.e. the little label on the box 📦
  • ice_seg — pointer to the segment of the package to be downloaded. yeah, it's the chunk of the package that's actually getting downloaded, lowkey the whole point 🌟

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Handles the download of a complete package.

that's it. that's the whole description. fr fr. it's short, it's sweet, it's doing exactly one job and doing it — handling the download of a complete package. not a half package, not a little snack of a package, the whole thing. ate. 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the related-files list on this one is long — like, genuinely a whole group chat of functions — so buckle up bestie, we're naming every single one 🍓

like I said. a whole group chat. but every single one of them is there, and that's on periodt 💀✨

ngl, if you're poking around this one you should also go read the file it lives in — <cyan>./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ddp.c</cyan> — because that's where the actual party is 🎉

okay bestie that's the whole page, you're so welcome 💖 this one comes to you straight from <purple>./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice</purple>, dated October 2026. stan a timeless kernel doc, mwah 🎀✨🦋
