ice_vf_init_vlan_stripping(9)

💅 ice_vf_init_vlan_stripping — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, buckle up, because we're diving into a function from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "small function, big responsibilities." 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vf_init_vlan_stripping — literally just here to enable/disable VLAN stripping on initialization 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_vf_init_vlan_stripping (struct ice_vf *vf );

like yes, that's the whole signature, and no, you may not argue with it 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vf — the VF you're enabling/disabling VLAN stripping for on initialization. it's the main character of this whole operation, no cap 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does it actually do? it sets the default for VLAN stripping. and how does it pick that default? based on two things, bestie, write these down:

• whether a port VLAN is configured, and
• the current VLAN mode of the device.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it looks at those two facts and goes "mmhmm, this is what the default should be" and sets it. slay 🧚

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay this is the part where I hold up the entire friend group. these are all the relatives, and yes, you have to acknowledge all of them at the function 🫶

ngl bestie, if you were looking for drama, this page has none — no warnings, no deprecated flags, no exit statuses. it's just a well-behaved little init function doing its one job. and honestly? iconic behavior. 🌈

and that's the whole page, mwah 💜 — this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026, so go forth and configure your VLAN stripping defaults, you absolute legend 🍓✨
