ice_fltr_add_entry_to_list — allocate and add filter entry to list

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ice_fltr_add_entry_to_list(9) 💅 this is genuinely one of those little glue functions and honestly? she's doing her thing. The way this one works: it allocates a filter entry and adds it to a list. That's the whole vibe. Allocate ✨ add ✨ done ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_fltr_add_entry_to_list (struct device *dev , struct
ice_fltr_info *info , struct list_head *list );

like literally that's the whole signature. int is what comes back out the other side, and she takes three things. no cap, that's it 💖

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • dev — pointer to device needed by alloc function 🫶 this one's for the allocate step, so the alloc function knows which device it's working with. she's the support system, we love her.
  • info — filter info struct that gets added to the passed in list ⭐ so this is the actual filter info, and it's the thing that ends up in the list you hand over. main character energy fr.
  • list — pointer to the list which contains MAC filters entry 🎀 the destination, the place where things get added, the whole point. she holds the MAC filters entry.
ngl the three of them together are a little trio: device for allocating, info for the actual filter, list for where it lands. iykyk 💜

before we go, here's the whole friend group 💕 first up, the kernel file where all of this lives:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_fltr.c

and then, the entire squad of related calls — like, the entire squad, i'm not skipping a single one, we don't do that here 🌈

and that's the page, bestie 🎀 this whole thing comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and it's dated October 2026 — periodt, go allocate something 💖✨🔥
