📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_flow_assoc_prof(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel one, and yes, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_flow_assoc_prof — the girl whose whole job is associating a VSI with a flow profile. that's it. that's the vibe. 💫

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_flow_assoc_prof (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_block blk , struct
ice_flow_prof *prof , u16 vsi_handle );

like, four things go in, an int comes out, she's iconic 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. the hardware. the main character. 🖥️✨
  • blk — classification stage, as an enum ice_block. it's giving "which chapter of the story are we in" ngl 📖
  • prof — pointer to flow profile. the profile in question. she's a pointer, she's real 💜
  • vsi_handle — software VSI handle, a u16. lowercase, understated, doing the work 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the thing — there is an assumption happening here, and bestie you cannot skip it:

the caller has acquired the lock to the profile list and the software VSI handle has been validated.

lowkey that's the entire description and it's non-negotiable, fr fr. you show up with the lock held and the vsi_handle already validated, or you don't show up at all 😤🔒

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

the kernel file lives right here: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_flow.c — go read her, she's long but she ate 🍓

and now the extended friend group, in order, no one left out, periodt:

like, the whole ice_flow + ice_rss friend group pulled up to the group chat at once 🔥👑

and that's the whole page, no notes 💖 this lil beauty comes to you straight from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and she's stamped October 2026 — go forth, hold that lock, validate that handle, slay 🧚‍♀️🌈
