ice_fltr_set_vsi_promisc(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_fltr_set_vsi_promisc — okay so this is a kernel API manual page, bestie 🎀

So this whole thing lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel devvy one), and honestly? It's giving "one little helper that does a very specific thing and does it flawlessly." Let's get into it. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

ice_fltr_set_vsi_promisc — the function that sets a given VSI to the promiscuous mode(s) you hand it. That's literally it. It sets the promisc, she's a promisc-setter. 🔥

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_fltr_set_vsi_promisc(struct ice_hw *hw, u16 vsi_handle, u8 promisc_mask,
                             u16 vid);

Returns an int, takes four things, slay. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. Like, the whole hardware vibe check in pointer form. 🫶
  • vsi_handle — the VSI handle you wanna configure. This is the one getting the glow-up.
  • promisc_mask — the mask of promiscuous config bits. Mask on, mask off, whatever bits you put in here are the ones she's turning on. 🎀
  • vid — the VLAN ID to set VLAN promiscuous. So if you're doing the VLAN flavor of promisc, this is the VID you point at. 💜

The source file for this one, no cap:

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

And the whole friend group, in the exact order the page lists them (yes, all of them, I'm not skipping a single one, that would be so rude):

Like, that's a whole squad. A filter-function flash mob. 🫶💖

ngl bestie, if you're gonna call one of these, you're probably gonna call like five of them. They come as a set, iykyk. 👑
