💅 ice_fltr_add_mac ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for ice_fltr_add_mac, and it's literally the whole "add single MAC filter" situation 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_fltr_add_mac — add single MAC filter 💫

like, one filter. a single one. not a list. that's a different function, we'll get there, iykyk 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_fltr_add_mac (struct ice_vsi *vsi , const u8 *mac , enum
ice_sw_fwd_act_type action );

it's giving "returns an int", it's giving "takes three things", we love a clear signature ngl 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vsi — pointer to VSI struct 🧚 — like, the whole VSI. a pointer to it. that's the vibe.
  • mac — MAC to add 👑 — yes the actual MAC, and yes it's const u8 *, so hands off, no cap.
  • action — action to be performed on filter match 🔥 — an enum ice_sw_fwd_act_type, so like, what happens when the filter matches. that's the whole point fr fr.
