ice_sched_clear_agg(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_sched_clear_agg — bestie, we're cleaning house 💖

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, iykyk), and it's about one very specific little cleanup queen: ice_sched_clear_agg. she does not build anything, she does not configure anything, she just removes. iconic behavior honestly 🧹✨

✨ NAME ✨

ice_sched_clear_agg — clears the aggregator related information 🫶

like, that's the whole job. she's the anti-hoarder of the scheduling world.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ice_sched_clear_agg (struct ice_hw *hw );

no return value, no drama, just vibes and a pointer. she literally returns void because there's nothing to report back — she just does it 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure 🖥️ that's it. that's the whole argument list. one (1) pointer. she's low maintenance.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do? bestie, listen 👂

This function removes the aggregator list and frees up the aggregator related memory that was previously allocated. that's it. that's the function.

like — the memory was already handed out at some point, and ice_sched_clear_agg is the one who comes through, deletes the list, and gives that memory back. she's the friend who actually returns the borrowed hoodie 😭🫶

ngl this is a teardown/cleanup function, so treat it like one — she's removing structures and releasing memory, not setting anything up. don't come looking for her to build your aggregator, that's a whole other function (see the enormous friend group below 👇).

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so this is the part where I have to introduce you to her entire extended family because Intel did NOT hold back. this is the longest group chat ever and every single one of them is on read receipts 📱💀

she's chillin' in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c — that's her home base 🏠

and then, the shoutouts, in exactly the order they were given:

bestie that's a hundred-plus siblings, she's literally the middle child of a scheduling dynasty 👑😭

k that's the whole page!! mwah 💋 this cutie comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026 — go forth and free that aggregator memory, you gorgeous nerd 🧚‍♀️💜🎀
