ice_lag_move_vf_nodes_sync(9)

💅 ice_lag_move_vf_nodes_sync(9) — the kernel API manual page, but make it make sense

okay so this is ice_lag_move_vf_nodes_sync from section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's giving "tiny function, huge job." let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_lag_move_vf_nodes_sync — move vf nodes to active interface

like literally that's the whole vibe: VF nodes? moved. active interface? that's where they're going. no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ice_lag_move_vf_nodes_sync (struct ice_lag *lag , struct ice_hw
*dest_hw );

returns void, so like… it doesn't hand you anything back. it just does the thing. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• lag — the primary interface's lag struct. this is the ✨primary✨ one, okay, keep that straight.
• dest_hw — the lport value for the currently active port. yes, an lport value. yes, it's important. 🙈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function is used in a reset context, i.e. outside of event handling. not in the event handler, bestie, we are past that.

what it does: it moves the VF nodes over to the secondary interface when that interface is the active interface during a reset rebuild. so during the rebuild chaos, whoever's actually active gets the VF nodes. slay. 💅✨

that's it. that's the whole function. short and iconic, we love a concise queen 🎀

heads up bestie: this one lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice in the kernel tree — that's the ice driver, the intel ethernet one. go touch grass in the source if you need more deets 🌈

kk that's the page!! written in October 2026, from the ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice corner of the kernel, and it's the ice_lag_move_vf_nodes_sync(9) manual page — bye bestie, go move some VF nodes 🎀✨🦋
