ice_sched_re...upport_nodes(9)

💅 NAME 💅

ice_sched_recalc_vsi_support_nodes — the glow-up math for VSI support nodes, bestie ✨

So this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (you know, the ice_sched_re...upport_nodes(9) one), and it's literally about recalculating how many support nodes a VSI needs. Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ice_sched_recalc_vsi_support_nodes (struct ice_hw *hw , struct
       ice_sched_node *vsi_node , unsigned int new_numqs , u16 *new_num_nodes
       );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — ok so this is a pointer to the HW struct. The hardware. The main character 👑
• vsi_node — pointer to the leftmost VSI node that needs to be extended. Leftmost. She's the edge, she's the one getting stretched 💅
• new_numqs — the new number of queues that has to be handled by the VSI. More queues, more problems, more nodes 🌈
• new_num_nodes — pointer to the nodes count table that we're gonna modify — specifically the VSI layer entry. This is the table bestie, and we are editing it ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the vibe: this function recalculates the number of supported nodes that need to be added after you add more Tx queues for a given VSI. Basically you gave the VSI more queues, and now the support-node math needs a little refresh, no cap 🔥

And the number of new VSI support nodes that shall be added? That gets saved to the new_num_nodes table for the VSI layer. That's it. That's the whole job. She's focused, she's efficient, she's iconic 😭💖

Lowkey important: the result lands in the new_num_nodes table — that's the whole point of the call, so don't lose track of it 🙈
