ice_dwnld_cfg_bufs(9)

💖 NAME 💖

ice_dwnld_cfg_bufs(9) from the Kernel API Manual — okay so the source NAME entry is literally just ice_dwnld_cfg_bufs -, bestie, with no extra one-line description, so I’m not gonna invent one 🫶. This is the function page, and it’s giving “short NAME, big SEE ALSO energy” 💅.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Exact signature, character-for-character, no cap:

enum ice_ddp_state ice_dwnld_cfg_bufs (struct ice_hw *hw , struct ice_buf *bufs , u32 count );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure, aka the main-character hardware data 💻
• bufs — pointer to an array of buffers, the little buffer squad 📚
• count — the number of buffers in the array, like how many besties are in that array 🔢

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here’s the vibe: it obtains the global config lock and downloads the package configuration buffers to the firmware. That’s it, that’s the whole quest 🫶. Global config lock: obtained. Package configuration buffers: downloaded to the firmware. Periodt. 💅

Cute sign-off time: this page’s source/version is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and yes the page itself is ice_dwnld_cfg_bufs(9). Bye bestie, go download those config buffers with confidence 💖✨
