ice_ptg_attr_in_use(9)

💖 ice_ptg_attr_in_use(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the group chat for ice_ptg_attr_in_use, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. this is the little function that does a vibe check on whether a PTG + attribute pair is already taken. that's it, that's the whole job. slay.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_ptg_attr_in_use — determine if PTG and attribute pair is in use 🫶

like literally, it looks at a PTG/attribute pair and is like "girl, are you in use or not."

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ice_ptg_attr_in_use (struct ice_tcam_inf *ptg_attr , unsigned long
*ptgs_used , struct ice_tcam_inf *attr_used[] , u16 attr_cnt );

ngl those spaces before the commas are just how she signs her name. do not fix her. this is her aesthetic. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ptg_attr — pointer to the PTG and attribute pair you're checking up on. the main character of this whole operation, honestly 👑
• ptgs_used — bitmap that denotes which PTGs are in use. think of it as the "who's already at the party" list ✨
• attr_used — array of PTG and attributes pairs already used. the guest list that's already been checked off 📋
• attr_cnt — count of entries in the attr_used array. like, how many names are actually on that guest list, fr fr 🔢

---

🦋 RETURN 🦋

true if the PTG and attribute pair is in use, false otherwise.

so: true = taken, false = the coast is clear. that's the whole tea ☕ periodt.

bestie she has SO many friends, she's literally the most connected function in the whole file. first up, her home base:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_flex_pipe.c

and now the whole extended friend group, gonna need a bigger group chat 💀

okay real talk, one technical thing: this page lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice — that's the source tree, that's where she lives. don't come for me if you can't find her there, that's literally just where the manpage says 🫶

and that's the page!! mwah 💖 this iconic little section-9 moment was brought to you by the source tree ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and honestly? she ate. no cap. 🎀🦋🌸
