✨ ice_vc_add_fdir_fltr_post(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ice_vc_add_fdir_fltr_post — yes that's a mouthful, yes you're gonna slay it, let's go 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vc_add_fdir_fltr_post — that's it, that's the name, the manpage literally gives us no one-liner here so we're just vibing with the function name itself 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_vc_add_fdir_fltr_post (struct ice_vf *vf , struct
       ice_vf_fdir_ctx *ctx , enum virtchnl_fdir_prgm_status status , bool
       success );

like, she takes four things and returns an int, periodt ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vf — pointer to the VF structure 👑 this is your main character right here
  • ctx — FDIR context info for post processing 🧚 that's the little info bundle she needs afterwards
  • status — virtchnl FDIR program status 💫 the program's status, as reported by virtchnl
  • success — true implies success, false implies failure 😭 no in-between, it's giving binary

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this is the post process for the flow director add command, iykyk 🌈

If it's a success, then she does the post process and sends back a success msg by virtchnl 🎉 slay.

Otherwise — and this is the important part, bestie — she does context reversion and sends back a failure msg by virtchnl 💀 so yeah, cleanup mode activated, no cap.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

0 on success, and other on error. that's it. that's the return. zero is the good number, anything else is giving "something went sideways" 🙈

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

okay buckle up, this list is LONG — she's connected to literally everyone in the fdir.c friend group 💜

little sign-off moment: this came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026, and the page is ice_vc_add_fdir_fltr_post(9) in case you forgot halfway through (no judgement, it's a long page) 😭✨💖
