ice_fltr_add_mac_to_list(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_fltr_add_mac_to_list(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖

okay so real talk, this is one of those little kernel helpers from the ice driver fam, and honestly? it's giving "glue function that carries the whole squad." it takes your MAC filter info and just… adds it to a list you already have. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_fltr_add_mac_to_list — add MAC filter info to existing list 🫶

like, the name literally tells you everything: you've got a list, you've got MAC filter info, and this function is the matchmaker that puts them together. lowkey iconic of it.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_fltr_add_mac_to_list (struct ice_vsi *vsi , struct list_head
*list , const u8 *mac , enum ice_sw_fwd_act_type action );

it returns an int, so yeah, you're gonna wanna check that return value, bestie. 👀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vsi — pointer to a VSI struct. this is the main character of the story — the virtual station interface everything's hanging off of. 🦋
  • list — the list you're adding the filter info to. yes, that list. the one in the parameter name. we love a self-explanatory king. 👑
  • mac — the MAC address you want to add. it's a const u8 *, so don't go thinking you can just scribble on it. 🙈
  • action — the filter action, typed as enum ice_sw_fwd_act_type. it's giving "what should the switch do with this?" energy. 💅
