ice_update_vsi_list_rule(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

ice_update_vsi_list_rule(9) is the function, bestie, and this page is straight from the Kernel API Manual. It’s giving “update the VSI list rule” energy, and we’re obsessed. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_update_vsi_list_rule (struct ice_hw *hw , u16 *vsi_handle_arr ,
       u16 num_vsi , u16 vsi_list_id , bool remove , enum ice_adminq_opc opc ,
       enum ice_sw_lkup_type lkup_type );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

Okay so this call takes these cuties:

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. Hardware bestie, essential. 💻
• vsi_handle_arr — array of VSI handles to form a VSI list. It’s literally the squad list. 🫶
• num_vsi — number of VSI handles in the array. Counting is caring, bestie.
• vsi_list_id — VSI list ID generated as part of allocate resource. Resource allocation ate, no cap.
• remove — Boolean value to indicate if this is a remove action. Yes, it’s the “are we removing?” boolean.
• opc — switch rules population command type — pass in the command opcode. You gotta pass it in, okay?
• lkup_type — lookup type of the filter. The filter’s whole lookup vibe. 🌈

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Bestie, the main character moment is this: call AQ command to add a new switch rule or update existing switch rule using the given VSI list ID. That’s the whole plot. It’s the add/update switch-rule situation, and it’s using the VSI list ID you gave it. Slay. 🔥
