ice_get_sw_fv_list(9)

✨ ice_get_sw_fv_list 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual for ice_get_sw_fv_list(9) — yes the parentheses-9 thing is a manpage section thing, we love her for that 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_get_sw_fv_list —

ngl the original NAME section is literally just vibes and a dash. No description. She said "the name is the description." iconic, honestly. 🙈

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_get_sw_fv_list (struct ice_hw *hw , struct ice_prot_lkup_ext
*lkups , unsigned long *bm , struct list_head *fv_list );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶
• lkups — list of protocol types ✨
• bm — bitmap of field vectors to consider 🔥
• fv_list — Head of a list 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what does she do? She goes digging through the switch block and finds all the field vector entries that contain a given protocol ID and offset, then hands you back a list of structures of type ice_sw_fv_list_entry 💅

and every single structure in that list? it's carrying a field vector definition and profile ID information. the way that she's thorough. main character energy fr fr 💀

⭐ NOTE ⭐

🚨 bestie listen to me: the caller of the function is responsible for freeing the memory allocated for every list entry. that's you. it's your job. don't leave her hanging 😭
