ice_init_pf_dcb(9)

💅 ice_init_pf_dcb(9) — ok bestie, we're doing kernel API manual pages now

So this is ice_init_pf_dcb from the ice(9) Kernel API Manual — yes, the Intel ice driver, the one that lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice. Grab a strawberry drink 🍓 and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_init_pf_dcb — literally just initializes DCB for a PF. That's the whole vibe. Nothing more, nothing less, no cap. 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ice_init_pf_dcb (struct ice_pf *pf , bool locked );

It hands you back an int, so like… check it, bestie. 👀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• pf — the PF you want to initialize DCB for. That's your main character right there. 👑
• locked — a bool telling us whether the function was called with RTNL held. iykyk, the locking lore matters. 🔒

And that's the page! 🌈 It came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, in the ice_init_pf_dcb(9) era of the Kernel API Manual — iconic of it, honestly. Bye bestie, go initialize something responsibly 🧚‍♀️💖
