💖 ice_update_vsi(9) 💖

okay so hi bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes we're in kernel-dev land today, and the star of the show is ice_update_vsi. Buckle up, it's giving "one function, four arguments, and a whole lot of lore" 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ice_update_vsi —

(and that's it. that's the whole name section. the original literally trails off after the dash, no cap. so like… the name is the name, and the rest is vibes 😭 the real tea is in DESCRIPTION, keep reading 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_update_vsi (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 vsi_handle , struct
       ice_vsi_ctx *vsi_ctx , struct ice_sq_cd *cd );

returns an int, takes four things, slay 💜

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so let's meet the cast, main character energy each and every one:

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct. yes. THE hardware. the actual hardware struct. iconic 👑
  • vsi_handle — a u16, and it's the unique VSI handle. unique!! she's one of a kind 🦋
  • vsi_ctx — pointer to a VSI context struct. this is the context, bestie, you gotta have it ✨
  • cd — pointer to command details structure or NULL. your call, both are valid, we respect the choice 💅

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Update the VSI context in the hardware. yes that's the whole description. short, sweet, to the point, she ate and left no crumbs 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay bestie this list is long long. like, genuinely. every single one of these is a real reference and i'm not about to skip a single one, so here we go, in original order, no cap 🫶

also, the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_switch.c — go read it, iykyk 📖

like i said. LONG long. but every single one made the list, we don't leave sisters behind 💜

okay and finally, the cute little sign-off — this page lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, it's dated October 2026, and it's brought to you by ice_update_vsi(9) from the Kernel API Manual. mwah, go update some VSI contexts, bestie 🧚💖🎀
