🧊 ice_fltr_add_eth_to_list(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition

Okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel source and you trip over ice_fltr_add_eth_to_list(9). That's the one we're doing today. Come sit, I got you 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_fltr_add_eth_to_list — adds ethertype filter info to an existing list 💖 (the original page spells it "exsisting" and honestly? iconic typo, we're keeping the energy but the meaning is existing list, no cap)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_fltr_add_eth_to_list (struct ice_vsi *vsi , struct list_head
*list , u16 ethertype , u16 flag , enum ice_sw_fwd_act_type action );

Yup, it hands you back an int. Five things go in, filter info goes onto the list. Slay ✨

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vsi — pointer to the VSI struct. Like, the VSI struct. Your main character 🎀
  • list — the list you're adding the filter info to, fr fr
  • ethertype — the ethertype of the packet that matches this filter 👑
  • flag — the filter direction, so like Tx or Rx, pick your vibe
  • action — the filter action. That's the whole of it, no extra lore 🍓

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The kernel file lives right here, go peek:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_fltr.c

And the whole friend group, in order, all of them, don't skip a single one (iykyk):

That's twenty-six little legends and every single one made the list 💅

Heads up bestie: this page only tells you what the arguments are and what the function does — it says nothing about return values or errors, so don't go inventing any, okay? 🙈

And that's the whole vibe check 💜 This page comes from the source tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and yes that's ice_fltr_add_eth_to_list(9) signing off. Periodt. 🎀✨
