📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so ice_vf_init_host_cfg — it's the one that initializes the host admin configuration ✨ (yes that's literally its whole job, and it does it slayfully)

this page is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, so strap in 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_vf_init_host_cfg (struct ice_vf *vf , struct ice_vsi *vsi );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • vf — the VF you're initializing, the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • vsi — the VSI that got created at initialization, tagging along for the ride 🫶

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So what does it actually do? It initializes the VF host configuration, periodt. ✨

It gets called during VF creation, and while it's there it:

  • sets up VLAN 0 💅
  • adds the VF VSI broadcast filter 🎀
  • sets up spoof checking 🕵️‍♀️
🚨 real talk though: it should only be called during VF creation. Like, that's the vibe check, don't be calling it at random times, iykyk 😭
