ice_flush_fdir_ctx(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🧊 ice_flush_fdir_ctx (9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💅

okay so you found a kernel function page and you're like "what is this" — don't worry, I got you. This one lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and honestly it's short and sweet. Let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_flush_fdir_ctx — and that's it, that's the whole name section. The description line is literally empty in the original, no cap. Not me staring at a blank field 😭. Anyway, the function does what it says: it's the flush-the-fdir-context girlie. Moving on 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_flush_fdir_ctx (struct ice_pf *pf );

that's the whole signature. one argument, void return, no drama 🌈

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pf — pointer to the PF structure. yes, that's all it says. that's the whole description. PF structure pointer, she's pointing at it, done 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it do? literally this: flush all the pending event on ctx_done list and process them. 🔥

Like — everything chilling on the ctx_done list that's been waiting? Gone. Flushed. Then it goes ahead and processes them. main character energy for real 👑

no extra caveats in the original, so don't go reading anything into it — that's the whole description, fr fr 🫶

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

first up, the source file this thing lives in:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/virt/fdir.c

and then — buckle up bestie, this is a long list, and we're keeping every single one 😤✨

like, forty-two cross-references?? she's connected 💀 but hey, if you're doing anything with the ice driver's fdir virt stuff, this is your reading list 🍓

and that's the page!! 🌟 source/version on the footer is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes it's truncated in the original, I'm not inventing the rest 🙈) and it's dated October 2026. mwah, go flush something, ily 💖🎀
