💅 ice_lag_monitor_act_bkup(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this little cutie lives in ice_lag_monitor_act_bkup(9) and she's about to make your whole week. grab a matcha, we're going in 🍓

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_lag_monitor_act_bkup — literally just keeping track of which port is the active one in A/B LAG 💖 no cap, that's the whole job.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_lag_monitor_act_bkup (struct ice_lag *lag , struct
       netdev_bonding_info *b_info , struct net_device *event_netdev );

it's giving "void function, three args, zero drama" 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• lag — the lag info struct, bestie. this is the main character 👑
• b_info — bonding info. yes, the bonding. like the ports are in a situationship 💀
• event_netdev — the net_device that got the target netdev 🦋 (iykyk)

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so the way this works: this function is for the primary PF to monitor changes in which port is active, and to handle those changes for SRIOV VF functionality. periodt. 💅

that's it, that's the vibe check — primary PF watches, port switches up, SRIOV VF functionality gets handled. slay. ✨

ngl this one is genuinely a short read (some of these pages are 40 options long 😭) so enjoy the rare W, bestie 💀

and that's the whole page! courtesy of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026 — mwah, drink water, and may your primary PF always know which port is active 💖✨🎀🦋💅
