💅 ice_vc_valid_vlan_setting_msg(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the <purple>Kernel API Manual</purple> ✨ this little page is all about ice_vc_valid_vlan_setting_msg, and yes the header truncated the name because apparently even manpage titles have a character limit 😭 anyway let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vc_valid_vlan_setting_msg — validate the VLAN setting message 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bool ice_vc_valid_vlan_setting_msg (struct virtchnl_vlan_supported_caps
*caps , struct virtchnl_vlan_setting *msg );

so it hands back a bool, takes two pointers, and that's literally the whole vibe check 🌸

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • caps — the negotiated VLAN settings from during VF init, like the receipts of what got agreed on earlier 👑
  • msg — the message that needs validating, aka the one on trial 🔥

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so picture this: this function is the bouncer at the club 🧚 it's used to validate any VLAN virtchnl message that shows up dressed as a virtchnl_vlan_setting structure.

it checks the message against the caps that were negotiated/supported during VF driver init — like, "girl, were you even on the guest list?" 💀 if it matches, slay. if not, no entry ✨
