ice_sw_fv_handler(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_sw_fv_handler(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ice_sw_fv_handler(9) — it's a lil callback from the Intel ice driver family and she's here to do exactly one job, and honestly? she does it. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_sw_fv_handler — (that's it, that's the whole name line, the original literally has no description after the dash, so no cap we're not inventing one 💀)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void * ice_sw_fv_handler (u32 sect_type , void *section , u32 index ,
       u32 *offset );

like, look at her. returns a void *. takes four things. iconic signature honestly 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • sect_type — the section type. yep. that's the vibe check on what kind of section we're dealing with 💅
  • section — a pointer to the section. she points at the section. main character pointer energy ✨
  • index — index of the field vector entry you want returned. like picking which one off the shelf 🍓
  • offset — ptr to a variable that receives the offset in the field vector table. she writes into it, so hand her a real one 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So <pink>this is a callback function</pink> — meaning you don't just call her out of nowhere, you pass her along to somebody else (hi ice_pkg_enum_entry 👋) and they call her. And <hotpink>she can be passed to ice_pkg_enum_entry``</hotpink>. that's her whole thing. that's the assignment. 💖

What she does: she <purple>treats the given section as of type ice_sw_fv_section``</purple> and enumerates the offset field. And just to be super clear, bestie — <cyan>"offset" is an index into the field vector table</cyan>. not a byte offset. an index. iykyk, don't mix them up 🙈

and then the whole friend group, fr fr, no skips, here's every single one of them in order 🫡:

ok that's the whole list, yes all of them, don't come for me about the length, the original said them all so we say them all 💀🫶

and that's the page, bestie!! 🧚✨ this one lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future vibes only 🌸💜 slay, go read some more kernel API, ily, bye!! 💅🔥
