🌸 ice_init_prof_masks(9) — Kernel API Manual 🌸

Okay bestie, so you found your way to ice_init_prof_masks(9) and honestly? I'm lowkey obsessed. This is the manual page for one little function in the Intel ice driver, and she is literally giving "initial prof masks" energy. No cap. Let's get into it because the way this page is structured is a whole vibe and you deserve to understand every single crumb. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ice_init_prof_masks — initial prof masks

That's it. That's the whole name. She's short, she's sweet, she's initial profiling masks and she's not sorry about it. Periodt. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

Bestie, the synopsis is where she really shines. Look at this signature — it's giving "I know exactly what I am" and I respect it:

void ice_init_prof_masks (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_block blk );

So she returns void (no gossip, no return value, she just does), and she takes exactly two things: a pointer to the hardware struct and a hardware block enum. That's the whole tea. Don't overthink it. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Every function's arguments are like her inner circle, and this one has a tiny little squad of two. Let's meet them properly:

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. This is your main character pointer, okay? It's the hardware struct she needs to do her job. Without hw, she's literally nothing. Respect the hw. 👑
  • blk — hardware block. This one tells her which block she's dealing with. It's an enum ice_block, so it's not just some random number, it's a whole intentional vibe. Slay. ✨

That's the entire argument list. Two arguments. No secret options, no hidden flags, no "oh by the way there's a third thing." Nope. Clean. Iconic. 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Okay so this section is long and the way it lists basically every single function in ice_flex_pipe.c is giving "I'm connected to everyone at this party" energy. She is NOT new here. She knows people. Let's give them all their flowers, because the original page listed every single one and we do not skip details in this house. 💯

First up, the file itself, because context matters:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_flex_pipe.c

That's the home base. That's where she lives. Now here's the full squad of related manual pages, in the exact order the original gave them, because we are thorough and we do not disrespect the list:

Bestie. That is a lot of cross-references. If you ever wondered whether ice_init_prof_masks is plugged into the whole ice driver ecosystem, the answer is yes. She is everywhere. She is connected. She is the moment. And every single one of those pages is listed here exactly like the original, so you can go read them all if you're feeling curious. 🌟

That's literally the whole page. No hidden sections, no secret warnings, no exit statuses, no environment variables. She's a simple, well-connected little function and she knows exactly who she is. 🧚

This icon of a manual page comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and it's dated October 2026 — so bookmark it, bestie, because future you is gonna need it. Stay slay. 💖✨
