💖 ice_vc_fdir_set_flow_fld(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ice_vc_fdir_set_flow_fld. This one is lowkey a little parser gremlin: it deals with a virtual channel add msg buffer and tucks field-vector info into a flow's packet segment field. No cap, that's the whole plot. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vc_fdir_set_flow_fld -

like, that's literally the name line — the dash is just there, serving main-character energy. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_vc_fdir_set_flow_fld (struct ice_vf *vf , struct
       virtchnl_fdir_add *fltr , struct virtchnl_fdir_fltr_conf *conf , struct
       ice_flow_seg_info *seg );

that's the signature, character-for-character, no edits. 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vf — pointer to the VF structure. the VF is the main character here.
  • fltr — virtual channel add cmd buffer. it's giving "incoming message buffer."
  • conf — FDIR configuration for each filter. very demure, very filter-specific.
  • seg — array of one or more packet segments that describe the flow. yes, one or more — it's an array, bestie.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Parse the virtual channel add msg buffer's field vector and store them into flow's packet segment field.

that's the whole job: parse those fields, tuck them into the flow's packet segment field, done. ✨

💅 RETURN 💅

0 on success, and other on error.

that's the whole return section — no secret bonus values listed. 😭
