okay so real talk, bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the page header is a little β¨mysteriousβ¨ because it gets cut off β the full name is ice_eswitch_enable_switchdev and she's the main character of this whole page. iykyk π
πΈ NAME πΈ
ice_eswitch_enable_switchdev β literally the function that configures the eswitch in switchdev mode. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it slayfully π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int ice_eswitch_enable_switchdev (struct ice_pf *pf );
like, she returns an int (as one does) and takes exactly one argument, no more no less π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
pfβ pointer to the PF structure. yep, just a pointer. that's the whole vibe check for this parameter, she hands you a PF and you're off π
π SEE ALSO π
first up, the actual kernel file where this lives, no cap:
./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_eswitch.c
and now the iconic ensemble cast β every single one of her friends, in the exact order the page gives them, because we don't skip anyone in this group chat π

ngl if you're reading this page you should probably also read those, they're all lowkey part of the same lore arc π§
aaand that's the whole page, bestie β nothing hidden, nothing cut, she's short and sweet like a good commit message π
this lil drop came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and the footer still calls her ice_eswitch_...le_switchdev(9) because the name is too long for her own good πβοΈ periodt π
