ice_sched_save_q_bw(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💾 ice_sched_save_q_bw(9) — or, "bestie just write down the bandwidth, we'll need it later" 💾

okay so real talk: this page is from the Kernel API Manual (the ice driver corner of it, specifically) and it's about the teensiest little function ever. like, one job. one vibe. and honestly? iconic for that. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_sched_save_q_bw — it saves a queue node's BW info. that's it. that's the whole thing. no cap. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_sched_save_q_bw (struct ice_q_ctx *q_ctx , enum ice_rl_type
rl_type , u32 bw );

it returns an int, bestie. not a void. so like, it could fail, just so you know. 👀

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • q_ctx — the queue context structure. yes queen, hand over your context. 👑
  • rl_type — the rate limit type, and the options are min, max, or shared. pick your fighter. 🔥
  • bw — the bandwidth in Kbps, aka Kilo bits per sec. lowercase-b bits, don't @ me, the manpage said it first. 🍓

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it do?? it saves the BW information of a queue type node — specifically so it's there later, for post replay use. it's giving "screenshot this before the group chat disappears" energy. ngl, respect. 📸

that's literally the whole description. short and slay. 🧚

lowkey the shortest description ever and honestly the vibe check passed — no hidden lore, no extra behaviour, just "save the info, we'll need it for replay." periodt. 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

girl. GIRL. the see-also section is the main character here. it goes on. and on. and on. i literally cannot stress this enough — buckle up, we're listing every single one. 🫶

the kernel file it lives in:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c

and now, the extended universe (yes, all of it, i'm not skipping a single one, i would never 😭):

see?? told you. ate and left no crumbs, all 121 of them (don't count that, i didn't count that, nobody counted that 🙈). also shoutout to ice_sched_save_vsi_bw(9) and ice_sched_replay_q_bw(9) — this page's siblings, keeping the family theme alive. 💜

⭐ sign-off ⭐

and that's the page, bestie!! this lil beauty ships out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice with a date stamp of October 2026 — so yeah, it's from the future, main character energy fr fr. 🌸✨ go save some bandwidth. 💅🎀🦋
