ice_rss_set_symm(9)
π ice_rss_set_symm β like, the Kernel API Manual edition π
okay so bestie, welcome to ice_rss_set_symm(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
ice_rss_set_symm β sets the symmetric settings for an RSS profile. that's it. that's the whole job. and it does it beautifully π«Ά
β SYNOPSIS β
void ice_rss_set_symm (struct ice_hw *hw , struct ice_flow_prof *prof );
no return value, no drama, no notes. it just goes π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
hwβ pointer to the hardware structure. the actual chip vibes, iykyk π§profβ pointer to flow profile. your little profile bestie that's about to get its symmetry set β¨
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so here's the tea β β the symmetric hash? it comes from XORing the protocol's fields with indexes in GLQF_HSYMM and GLQF_HINSET. literally that's where it's born. and this function is the main character that makes it happen: it configures the profile's GLQF_HSYMM registers. no cap π₯
