ice_sched_get_free_qparent(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

ice_sched_get_free_qparent — okay bestie, this one snags you a free LAN or RDMA queue group node ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ice_sched_node * ice_sched_get_free_qparent (struct ice_port_info
*pi , u16 vsi_handle , u8 tc , u8 owner );

Yep, she returns a struct ice_sched_node * — a pointer, not a copy, so treat her right 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pi — the port information structure 🌸 like, the whole port's lore in one struct
  • vsi_handle — the software VSI handle 💅 the software-side name tag for your VSI
  • tc — the branch number ⭐ yes, tc is the branch number here
  • owner — LAN or RDMA 👑 pick your fighter

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So the whole vibe of this function: it retrieves a free LAN or RDMA queue group node 💖 That's it, that's the job. It goes and finds you an available queue group node for whichever of the two owners you asked for, and hands it over 🔥

no cap, that's genuinely the entire documented behaviour — don't go reading more into it 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The kernel file itself lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c — that's the mothership, iykyk 🧚

And now the friend group, the whole entire scheduling extended universe, literally all of them 💀 every single one, in order:

Like, that's the entire group chat right there 😭💜

💅 later, bestie 💅

This lil page dropped from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice back in October 2026 — and it's still the ice_sched_get_free_qparent(9) manual page, periodt. Go get your free queue group node, you got this 🌟🫶
