🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vc_fdir_parse_pattern — and ngl, the original page literally leaves the description blank after the dash 😭 so we're just gonna say: it's the function, it's iconic, that's the name. Periodt.

int ice_vc_fdir_parse_pattern (struct ice_vf *vf , struct
       virtchnl_fdir_add *fltr , struct virtchnl_fdir_fltr_conf *conf );

like, three args, one int coming back at you 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vf — pointer to the VF info 💖 you know, the virtual function's whole little identity situation
  • fltr — virtual channel add cmd buffer 🎀 the command buffer that came in over the virtchannel
  • conf — FDIR configuration for each filter ⭐ per-filter FDIR config, right there

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Parse the virtual channel filter's pattern and store them into conf 🧚 lowkey the whole job in one sentence — it takes the pattern off the virtual channel filter and tucks it into conf. ate and left no crumbs.
