ice_vf_fdir_init(9)
β¨ ice_vf_fdir_init β the little kernel function that sets up FDIR vibes for your VF β¨
Okay bestie, so this one's from the ice(9) Kernel API Manual, and it's literally a single function whose whole personality is "get the FDIR resource ready for a VF." Lowkey iconic, highkey specific. Let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
ice_vf_fdir_init β init FDIR resource for VF
Like, that's the whole job. It initializes the FDIR (Flow Director) resource for a Virtual Function. Short, sweet, and it knows exactly what it is π«Ά
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
void ice_vf_fdir_init (struct ice_vf *vf );
No return value, no drama β it's a void function, so it just does the thing and dips. Periodt β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
vfβ pointer to the VF info. Yeah, that's the one and only arg: a pointer to thestruct ice_vfthat holds all the VF info. She's the main character of this function call, no cap π
π SEE ALSO π
Okay so this is where things get long, and honestly? The way this list ate, there's no crumbs left. Here's every single companion function and reference, in the exact order the manpage gives them:

Ik that's a lot but it's giving "she has a big friend group and everyone's invited to the function call" π€
Heads up bestie: the manpage footer path is truncated as ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... β that's literally how it appears, so don't come for me, I'm just reporting the facts fr fr π
π Cute lil sign-off π
And that's the whole page! It's from the Kernel API Manual, source/version line is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i..., and the date on this bad boy is October 2026. Go forth and init those FDIR resources, you absolute legend π§ππ¦
