ice_sched_set_node_priority(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_sched_set_node_priority(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (ice_sched_set_node_priority(9)), and bestie, it's lowkey a tiny little function that does one very specific thing in the Intel ice driver's scheduler. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_sched_set_node_priority — sets a node's priority. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic minimalism honestly 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_sched_set_node_priority (struct ice_port_info *pi , struct
       ice_sched_node *node , u16 priority );

it returns an int, and take a sec to appreciate the cast list: pi, node, priority. three little besties, one big job ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • pi — the port information structure. yes, it's literally named pi, no it's not a delicious dessert, it's your port info 💖
  • node — the tree node we're messing with, main character of this operation 🌸
  • priority — a number 0-7 that represents the priority among siblings. so like, birth order but for scheduler nodes, and only eight slots exist. narrow it down bestie 🎯

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

no cap, the whole thing is this: the function sets the priority of a node among its siblings. that's the vibe. one node, one little rank, among the other nodes at the same level. periodt 💫

ngl, "among its siblings" is the important part — this is a relative ranking situation, not an absolute one. keep that in mind and you're golden 🧚

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long long, like a group chat with everyone you've ever met, so buckle up. all of these live in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sched.c:

like I said. everyone's here. no one got left on read 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🦋💖 this little icon comes to you from the source tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026, and the manual it lives in is the Kernel API Manual. go forth and set those priorities (0-7 only, don't get weird about it) ✨🎀👑
