ice_napi_add(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_napi_add(9) — okay bestie, this is the page, and it's all about ice_napi_add: register NAPI handler for the VSI. We're in the Kernel API Manual today, and this one is giving “tiny function, very specific job” energy. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ice_napi_add (struct ice_vsi *vsi );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vsi — the VSI for which the NAPI handler is to be registered. That's the whole argument, no extra lore. 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so the important context: this function is only called in the driver's load path. Registering the NAPI handler is done in ice_vsi_alloc_q_vector for all other cases — i.e. resume, reset/rebuild, etc. No cap, that's the split. ✨
