💖 ice_init_lag(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_init_lag(9) — the girliepop that gets LAG all set up and ready to slay ✨ (LAG = link aggregation, iykyk, and this is the init one, so she's the opening act 🎀)

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_init_lag — the one who initializes support for LAG, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_init_lag (struct ice_pf *pf );

she's giving "returns an int", she's giving "takes one argument", she's literally that girl 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • pf — the PF struct 💖 that's it, that's the argument. one (1) struct pointer and she's off to the races.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so what she actually does: she allocs memory for the LAG structs and then initializes the elements inside them. very demure, very mindful, very allocation-core 🧚

and because every icon knows when to exit the stage — that memory gets freed later in ice_deinit_lag 💀 so don't you worry your pretty little head about leaks, she's got a cleanup bestie on the other end 🔥

ngl this is the "make the thing exist" function. if you skip her, nothing else in the LAG cinematic universe is happening. periodt.

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

okay so there's a lot of siblings in this family and we are NOT leaving a single one out, everyone gets their moment 💜 also the kernel file she lives in:

like. sixty-something besties. the whole group chat. iconic behavior honestly 👑

hope that cleared it up bestie, go forth and init your lag 💅✨
