ice_vc_parser_fv_check_diff(9)

💖 NAME 💖

ice_vc_parser_fv_check_diff — okay bestie, this one checks whether two parsed FDIR profile fv contexts are different 👀✨

So like, quick vibe check: this is from the section 9 Kernel API Manual, and honestly? She's doing a lot of work for one little bool. We stan 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool ice_vc_parser_fv_check_diff (struct ice_parser_fv *fv_a , struct
       ice_parser_fv *fv_b );

Two pointers, one bool, zero drama (allegedly) 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• fv_a — struct of parsed FDIR profile field vector. the first one, the original, the blueprint 🎀
• fv_b — struct of parsed FDIR profile field vector. the second one, the one getting compared against fv_a 🔍

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Check if the two parsed FDIR profile field vector contexts are different — and bestie, different here means literally any of these three things being off:

• proto_id
• offset
• mask

That's the whole menu. If any of those doesn't line up between the two contexts, they're different. Periodt 💅

---

🎀 RETURN 🎀

• true — on different 🌈
• false — on otherwise 😌

(yes, "otherwise". she's quirky like that. no cap.)
