✨ ice_vc_fdir_parse_raw — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so this is the man page for ice_vc_fdir_parse_raw(9) — yes that's the whole name, it's giving "my parents gave me a very long name and I'm owning it" 💅 It lives in the Kernel API Manual and we're gonna go through it top to bottom, no skips, periodt.

🎀 NAME 🎀

ice_vc_fdir_parse_raw — parse a virtchnl raw FDIR rule

Like, it takes a raw FDIR rule from the virtchnl world and parses it. That's the whole vibe check 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_vc_fdir_parse_raw (struct ice_vf *vf , struct
virtchnl_proto_hdrs *proto , struct virtchnl_fdir_fltr_conf *conf );

Three args, one int coming back at you. Iconic.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • vf — pointer to the VF info
  • proto — the virtchnl protocol headers
  • conf — FDIR configuration for each filter

Three little inputs, all doing their main character thing 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

The way this function literally just parses the virtual channel filter's raw flow and stores it in conf — that's it, that's the job. No cap, it's a "do the thing and put it in conf" kind of function ✨

👑 RETURN 👑

Returns 0 on success or a negative errno on failure. That's your vibe check right there: zero = slay 💅, negative = something went sideways 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Bestie, there is a whole friend group of related functions, and I mean the entire group chat. Here they are, every single one, not a single name dropped 🙈:

Forty-plus entries and not one of them got left behind 🧚💜 That's the squad.

Quick heads up: none of these functions are invented or merged, they're listed exactly as the original page has them — so if you go looking in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/virt/fdir.c you'll find the crew 🍓

And that's the whole page, bestie! No 💀 lore, no deprecated drama, no hidden bugs — just a clean little parse function living its truth.

Sign-off szn: this masterpiece of a manual page is hanging out at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... with a October 2026 date on it, and it's titled ice_vc_fdir_parse_raw(9) — go off, king 👑⭐💖
