ice_update_s..._bridge_mode(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

Hi hi bestie 💖 welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9. The header’s shortened title is ice_update_s..._bridge_mode(9), and the full function we’re talking about is ice_update_sw_rule_bridge_mode.

ice_update_sw_rule_bridge_mode — that’s the function name. The original NAME line had a dash and then nothing else, so no invented one-liner here. The mystery is the moment 💅.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_update_sw_rule_bridge_mode (struct ice_hw *hw );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• hw — pointer to the HW struct. One argument, no surprise guests 🫶.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so here’s the tea: ice_update_sw_rule_bridge_mode updates unicast switch filter rules based on VEB/VEPA mode. That’s the whole description, bestie — unicast switch filter rules, VEB/VEPA mode, updated. It’s giving switch-rule main character energy, and those are the facts we’re keeping ✨.
