ice_find_dummy_packet(9)

💅 ice_find_dummy_packet(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense

okay so this is the manual page for ice_find_dummy_packet(9), and yes bestie, it's a kernel API page, but don't panic — it's literally one function and it's giving "short and sweet." 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_find_dummy_packet — find dummy packet 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const struct ice_dummy_pkt_profile * ice_find_dummy_packet (struct
       ice_adv_lkup_elem *lkups , u16 lkups_cnt , enum ice_sw_tunnel_type
       tun_type );

like, that's the whole thing. three params in, one const struct ice_dummy_pkt_profile * out. slay. ✨

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• lkups — the lookup elements, aka the match criteria for the advanced recipe. one structure per protocol header, okurrr 💅
• lkups_cnt — number of protocols. yes it's literally a count. iconic.
• tun_type — the tunnel type. that's it, that's the arg 🌈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what does it do? it returns the ice_dummy_pkt_profile corresponding to these lookup params. that's the whole vibe — you hand it your lookup stuff, it hands you back the matching dummy packet profile. periodt. 💖

ngl if you actually read that whole SEE ALSO list you're a real one. main character energy fr. 👑

and that's the page!! this came out of the ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice corner of the kernel, dated October 2026 — so like, a little time capsule 🎀 bye bestie, go find those dummy packets 💖✨
