ice_set_vf_spoofchk(9)
π NAME π
ice_set_vf_spoofchk β ok so this is the little function that flips the VF spoof checking on or off, bestie, and it's from the Kernel API Manual (ice_set_vf_spoofchk(9), yes that's the whole name, we love a self-titled icon π)
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int ice_set_vf_spoofchk (struct net_device *netdev , int vf_id , bool ena );
Like, that's the whole signature. Three args, one int coming back at you. Slay.
π ARGUMENTS π
netdevβ the network interface device structure, aka the actual NIC we're talking to. It's giving "main character", everything else is just lore π¦vf_idβ the VF identifier. Which virtual function are we messing with? Gotta know fr fr.enaβ the flag that enables or disables the feature.true= turn it on,false= turn it off. It's abool, no vibes-based guessing needed π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Enable or disable VF spoof checking. That's it. That's the whole job. Lowkey iconic for how straightforward it is β you pass in the device, the VF id, and whether you want it on or off, and the function handles it. No cap, sometimes the small functions ate π
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
The kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_sriov.c β that's the whole neighborhood, go say hi to the neighbors π
