💅 ice_vc_add_mac_addr(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the ice driver, the manual is literally called Kernel API Manual, and the function we're talking about today is ice_vc_add_mac_addr — and yes it does exactly what it says on the tin, no cap 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vc_add_mac_addr — attempt to add the MAC address passed in 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_vc_add_mac_addr (struct ice_vf *vf , struct ice_vsi *vsi ,
       struct virtchnl_ether_addr *vc_ether_addr );

like, it returns an int and takes three args, that's the whole vibe check 💖

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vf — pointer to the VF info. literally the VF's whole personality in one struct 💅
  • vsi — pointer to the VF's VSI. ok so this is the VSI that belongs to that VF, don't mix them up bestie 🙈
  • vc_ether_addr — the VIRTCHNL MAC address structure used to add MAC. it's giving "here's the address, please add it" energy ⭐
