📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_vc_fdir_parse_flow_fld — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, buckle up, we're reading a kernel API page together and honestly? it's short and sweet. this is the manual entry for ice_vc_fdir_parse_flow_fld from the Kernel API Manual. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vc_fdir_parse_flow_fld

and that's… literally it? the original page has nothing after the dash here 😭 no cap, not a single word of description. we're not hiding it from you, bestie, it's just built different (empty). moving on! 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole signature, in all its glory, copied exactly because we do NOT mess with the source:

int ice_vc_fdir_parse_flow_fld (struct virtchnl_proto_hdr *proto_hdr ,
struct virtchnl_fdir_fltr_conf *conf , enum ice_flow_field *fld , int
*fld_cnt );

like, she's a little wrapped-weird in the original but we love her anyway 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

four besties walk into a function:

  • proto_hdr — the virtual channel protocol filter header 👑 this is the thing being read.
  • conf — the FDIR configuration for each filter 🌈
  • fld — the field type array 💖
  • fld_cnt — the field counter 🔢

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she do? she parses the virtual channel filter header and stores them into the field type array. that's the whole vibe. parse the header, stash the results in the field type array. iconic, efficient, no notes. ✨

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success 🎉
  • other on error 💀

(yes, "other" — that's genuinely what the page says, so we're keeping it exactly like that, iykyk.)

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

the kernel file lives right here, bestie:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/virt/fdir.c

and okay, this is the part where the page goes absolutely feral with cross-references. every single one, in the original order, because we do not gatekeep 👑

bestie heads up: this page is literally just a parse helper — no dangerous flags, no deprecated stuff, no wild caveats hiding in here. what you see is what you get 💖

and that's the whole page, periodt 🧚 mwah! this little beauty is signed off as ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and dated October 2026 (the date is living in the future and honestly? main character energy ⏰✨). go forth and parse those flow fields, bestie — you're gonna slay 💅🎀
