ice_vc_can_add_mac(9)

💅 ice_vc_can_add_mac(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, that Kernel API Manual, the one with the driest prose on earth, except now it's got flavor. this little function is the bouncer at the club door for MAC addresses, and tbh it's giving main character energy 🌟

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vc_can_add_mac — the vibe check that tells you whether a VF is even allowed to add a given MAC address 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ice_vc_can_add_mac (const struct ice_vf *vf , const u8 *mac );

literally just that. one call, one yes-or-no, no cap. 💖

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• vf — the VF you're adding the address to. like, the actual virtual function bestie, hand it over 🫶
• mac — the address to check. the one we're all here to interrogate 💅

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns true if the VF is allowed to add such MAC address, and false otherwise. that's it, that's the whole personality. iykyk 🔥

hang on, this list is long — it's giving "tag yourself i'm ice_vc_process_vf_msg(9)" energy 😭 but every single one matters, so here we go, no skipping:
