ice_sched_add_rl_profile(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_sched_add_rl_profile(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual, but make it make sense 🎀

okay so bestie, buckle up — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-land, no cap) and it's all about adding an RL profile. yes it's as iconic as it sounds. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_sched_add_rl_profile — add RL profile. that's it. that's the vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ice_aqc_rl_profile_info * ice_sched_add_rl_profile (struct
ice_port_info *pi , enum ice_rl_type rl_type , u32 bw , u8 layer_num );

literally copy that exactly, character for character, bestie — don't be out here retyping from memory 🙈

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • pi — the port information structure. your port's whole personality, basically 🫶
  • rl_type — the type of rate limit BW, and the options are min, max, or shared. pick one, bestie 💅
  • bw — bandwidth in Kbps, which is Kilo bits per sec (yes, bits, not bytes — read the label 😭)
  • layer_num — tells the function which layer to create the profile in. know your layer, own your layer 👑

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the whole storyline 🌈 this function first checks the existing list for the corresponding BW parameter. if it's already there? it returns the associated profile, no drama, we love a shortcut 💖

if it's not there, it creates a new rate limit profile for the requested BW and adds it to the HW DB and local list. new profile, who dis ✨

it returns the new profile, or null on error (yes, null, lowercase n, that's how the page says it — don't come for me 💀).

🚨 important bestie alert: the caller needs to hold the scheduler lock. like, actually hold it. this is not a suggestion, this is the whole rules of the group chat 🔒

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the guest list is long — everyone showed up, and honestly? obsessed. here's the full roster, no cuts, no skips, fr fr 🎀

also the kernel file itself lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c — that's the source, bestie, go read it if you want the full lore 📖

and that's the page!! 🦋 mwah 💋 this one's coming to you live from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, October 2026 — same time next semester, bestie, stay slay, keep your locks held 💖✨🎀
