ice_fill_adv_dummy_packet(9)

💅 ice_fill_adv_dummy_packet(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay so bestie, this is the ice_fill_adv_dummy_packet(9) manual page. It’s giving kernel API energy, and it’s here to explain this function with every single detail kept intact. no cap. 🫶✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_fill_adv_dummy_packet — fill a dummy packet with given match criteria. literally that’s the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_fill_adv_dummy_packet (struct ice_adv_lkup_elem *lkups , u16
       lkups_cnt , struct ice_sw_rule_lkup_rx_tx *s_rule , const struct
       ice_dummy_pkt_profile *profile );

Quick vibe check: the return type is int — that’s what the synopsis says, and I’m not adding any extra return-value lore. 🙈

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• lkups — lookup elements or match criteria for the advanced recipe, one structure per protocol header. so yes, one lil structure for each protocol header, okay? 🫶
• lkups_cnt — number of protocols. that’s the count, bestie. 🔢
• s_rule — stores rule information from the match criteria. it’s where the rule info goes. 💅
• profile — dummy packet profile (the template, its size and header offsets). yep, the template plus its size and header offsets. iconic. 👑
