ice_get_lan_q_ctx(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_get_lan_q_ctx — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay so first things first: this is the ice_get_lan_q_ctx(9) page out of the Kernel API Manual, and yes it's a kernel function page, but it's also lowkey the whole thing in two lines. it grabs the LAN queue context for a given VSI and TC. that's the entire vibe check. main character energy from a four-argument function, honestly 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ice_get_lan_q_ctx — get the LAN queue context for the given VSI and TC 🎀

like. that's it. that's the job. she finds your queue context and she slays.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the signature bestie, copy it exact, no "fixing" the spacing, i'm watching you 👀

struct ice_q_ctx * ice_get_lan_q_ctx (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 vsi_handle , u8 tc , u16 q_handle );

she returns a struct ice_q_ctx * and she takes four things. that's the whole exchange. four lil' arguments in, one queue context pointer out. no cap ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

not me having to read each one of these individually, but fine, we're doing it right, because details are the moment 🫶

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. that's your hardware, your whole little silicon bestie. she needs to know which hardware we're talking about before anything else happens 💖
  • vsi_handle — software VSI handle. the VSI in software-land, not the hardware one. iykyk, but if you don't: this is the software-side handle, exactly like it says 🌈
  • tc — TC number. just the number. of the TC. yes that's genuinely all the page tells you, and i refuse to invent more, because making stuff up is not the vibe 🙈
  • q_handle — software queue handle. the queue handle, in software. the same species of thing as vsi_handle up there, but for a queue 🦋
ok real talk for a second: this page is short. like, two-paragraphs-and-a-huge-see-also-section short. so don't come for me about the length, come for the linked-list of related functions at the bottom instead 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

and now the main event, the group chat roster, the part where every single sibling function in ice_common.c shows up to the party. it's giving "family reunion where you have to greet everyone by name" 😭 but every single one of these is real and every single one gets a mention, so let's go.

the source file itself: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_common.c — that's the Kernel file, that's where she lives 🏠

okay that's genuinely everyone, i checked, twice, because missing one would be so embarrassing 😭 go read the ones you actually need and leave the rest on read, no judgment 💅

and that's the page!! short function, long friend list, very "has 200 acquaintances and knows all their names" of her honestly 👑

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice · October 2026 — mwah, that's the source and the date, go forth and get your LAN queue context bestie, ily, bye 🫶✨
