ice_get_vf_by_id(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Okay so hi bestie!! 💖 Welcome to the ice_get_vf_by_id(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the manual name is folded in right here, cute and accounted for. The NAME is ice_get_vf_by_id — Get pointer to VF by ID. That's literally the mission: get a pointer to a VF by ID. No cap. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ice_vf * ice_get_vf_by_id (struct ice_pf *pf , u16 vf_id );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pf — the PF private structure. That's the private-structure bestie you're passing in. 🫶
• vf_id — the VF ID to locate. Like, the ID you're trying to find in the VF lineup.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This function locates and returns a pointer to the VF structure associated with a given ID. If that ID does not have a valid VF structure associated with it, you get NULL back — not a slay, but very important to know. 😭

⚠️ Reference alert, bestie: this function takes a reference to the VF, which must be released by calling ice_put_vf once the caller is finished accessing the VF structure returned. Do not skip the release step. 💅
