📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_vc_add_vlan_msg(9) 💅

okay so real talk, the manual name for this one is Kernel API Manual, and the function we're stanning is ice_vc_add_vlan_msg — bestie, we're getting into the VLAN guts of the ice driver and it's lowkey iconic 🧚

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vc_add_vlan_msg — that's it, that's the name. The original page leaves the one-liner blank (the audacity 😭), so there's no extra description hanging off the NAME section. Periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_vc_add_vlan_msg (struct ice_vf *vf , u8 *msg );

it hands back an int, and it takes two things: a struct ice_vf * and a u8 *. slay 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vf — pointer to the VF info. yes bestie, the virtual function info struct, she's the main character here 👑
  • msg — pointer to the msg buffer. the message payload lives in here, handle with care 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the whole job, fr fr: Add and program guest VLAN ID ✨

that's the vibe — this one adds the guest VLAN ID and programs it. no cap, that's what the page says and we're not adding extra lore 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the source file itself — like, the actual home of this function:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/virt/virtchnl.c

and now the iconic friend group, every single one of them, no skips 💜 (this is the whole list, bestie, I would never cut anyone):

bestie heads up: a bunch of these live right in the same neighborhood of the ice virtchnl code, so if you're going down the VLAN rabbit hole you already know where to look 💀💖

and that's the page!! mwah 😘 the source this came from is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 — go forth and program those guest VLAN IDs, you absolute icon 🌟💜
