ice_vc_validate_vlan_tpid(9)

🎀 ice_vc_validate_vlan_tpid(9) 🎀

hey bestie 💖 welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ice_vc_validate_vlan_tpid(9) — the little function whose whole main-character job is validating VLAN TPID. no cap, we’re gonna get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vc_validate_vlan_tpid — validate VLAN TPID. that’s the name, that’s the vibe 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature, exactly as it is, bestie 🫶

bool ice_vc_validate_vlan_tpid (u16 filtering_caps , u16 tpid );

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• filtering_caps — the negotiated/supported VLAN filtering capabilities. like, the cap situation it’s checking against 🎀
• tpid — the VLAN TPID used for validation. this is the value getting the vibe check 🔥

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here’s the tea ☕: this function converts the VLAN TPID to a VIRTCHNL_VLAN_ETHERTYPE_*, then compares that against the negotiated/supported filtering caps to see if the VLAN TPID is valid. literally convert, compare, conclude — iconic behavior 💅✨

okay bestie, that’s the whole page 🎀 this drop is from the Kernel API Manual, source/version ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and yes the title is still ice_vc_validate_vlan_tpid(9). mwah 💋✨
