💅 ice_vc_get_vlan_caps(9) — the Kernel API Manual era 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 (that's the kernel-API girlies' section, iykyk). Today's main character is ice_vc_get_vlan_caps, and she's here to tell you what VLAN caps your VF is allowed to have. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vc_get_vlan_caps —

and that's literally it, that's the whole description. no cliffhanger, no explanation, just the name and a little dash hanging out by itself 💀 iconic minimalism honestly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 ice_vc_get_vlan_caps (struct ice_hw *hw , struct ice_vf *vf , struct
ice_vsi *vsi , u32 driver_caps );

she takes four things, she gives back a u32. simple as that 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hw. yes, the hardware. she needs to know what she's working with 💖
  • vf — pointer to the VF info. that's your virtual function's whole lore right there.
  • vsi — pointer to the VSI. the virtual station interface in question, no cap.
  • driver_caps — current driver caps. what the driver's saying it can do, right now, in this moment, main character energy.

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Return 0 if there is no VLAN caps supported, or VLAN caps value.

that's the tea 🍓 — no caps? you get a 0, sorry bestie. caps? you get the VLAN caps value itself. it's giving "yes or no and if yes, here's the whole menu" 💅
