ice_parse_raw_rss_pattern(9)

💅 ice_parse_raw_rss_pattern — parse the raw pattern spec AND mask for RSS, bestie

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about one very specific little function that does a very specific little job. no cap, it's kind of a niche icon but we love her. 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_parse_raw_rss_pattern (struct ice_vf *vf , struct
       virtchnl_proto_hdrs *proto , struct ice_rss_raw_cfg *raw_cfg );

like… that's the whole vibe. three pointers, one int, zero drama. 🎀

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• vf — pointer to the VF info. your VF, your business 💖
• proto — pointer to the virtchnl protocol header 👑
• raw_cfg — pointer to the RSS raw pattern configuration 🌈

three pointers walk into a function. that's it. that's the joke. iykyk 😭

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this is a parser function, and honestly? it's giving "middle management but make it glam" because it's pulling spec and mask out of the virtchnl message and then parsing them to get the corresponding profile and offset. 💅

and the profile? it's not just decorative, bestie — it's used to add RSS configuration. so like, actual work gets done downstream. main character energy, fr fr ✨

ngl this one's short on words but the vibe is clear: message in, profile + offset out, RSS config gets added. periodt.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success 🎉 slay
• negative error code on failure 💀 not slay

that's it. that's the whole return contract. no in-between, no "maybe", no situationship 🥲
