💖 ice_is_chnl_fltr(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the ice_is_chnl_fltr(9) page ✨ this is the kernel API manual moment where we find out if a filter is actually a valid channel filter. no cap, it’s all about the destination 👀💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_is_chnl_fltr - is this a valid channel filter

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ice_is_chnl_fltr (struct ice_tc_flower_fltr *f );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• f — pointer to the tc-flower filter, aka the lil filter object we’re vibe-checking 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The criteria for deciding whether a given filter is a valid channel filter or not is based on its destination. literally the main character of this whole check 💅

For the forward to VSI action: if the destination is a valid hw_tc (aka tc_class) and it’s in the supported range of TCs for ADQ, then return true. slay ✅

For forward to queue: as long as dest_vsi is valid and it is of type VSI_CHNL (PF ADQ VSI is of type VSI_CHNL), return true. periodt 💖

💅 NOTE 💅

For forward to queue, correct dest_vsi is still set in tc_fltr based on the destination queue specified. bestie, don’t forget that part 👑
