ice_remove_eth_mac(9)

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

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel API manual and this page is literally called ice_remove_eth_mac — the whole vibe is "take this filter rule out, it's not serving anymore". It lives in section 9, your fave place for kernel functions. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_remove_eth_mac — remove an ethertype (or MAC) based filter rule. that's it, that's the whole job. it's giving cleanup era. 🧹💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_remove_eth_mac (struct ice_hw *hw , struct list_head *em_list );

like, it returns an int (iykyk), takes a pointer to the hardware struct and a pointer to a list head. no cap. ⭐

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. that's your main character: the hardware. 🫶
• em_list — list of ethertype or ethertype MAC entries. literally the list of the things we're about to un-invite from the filter party. 🦋

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file it lives in: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_switch.c — iconic, no notes. 🍓
