💅 ice_lag_cfg_drop_fltr — Add/Remove lport drop rule 🎀

okay so bestie, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's called ice_lag_cfg_drop_fltr — say that five times fast, i literally can't 😭. It's a tiny little function with a big job: adding or removing a drop rule on an lport. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Slay.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_lag_cfg_drop_fltr — Add/Remove lport drop rule 💅

lowkey iconic naming honestly, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_lag_cfg_drop_fltr (struct ice_lag *lag , bool add );

that's the whole signature bestie, no cap. returns an int, takes two args, we move. 🦋

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • lag — the lag struct for the local interface. it's giving "main character energy" for your local interface fr fr 💖
  • add — a boolean telling it whether to add the filter or not. so like, true = add, and if you're not adding... yeah. the boolean is the whole decision-maker here. periodt. ✨
ngl this is a short one — two params, one job. not every function needs a whole saga. 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so the source for all of this lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_lag.c — that's the home base 🏠. and apparently this function rolls with a huge friend group, so let me introduce you to literally all of them, no skipping, i would never 🙈:

like i said. huge friend group. every single one of them, accounted for, nobody left on read 💜. and the directory these all hang out in is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice 🌈.

and that's the whole page bestie!! 🫶 tiny function, massive see-also, absolute legend behavior. this lil writeup came from the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026, sourced out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice — so like, shoutout to the future ig?? anyway go forth and configure your drop filters, you're gonna eat 💅✨🍓
