ice_vf_rebuild_host_mac_cfg(9)

💖 ice_vf_rebuild_host_mac_cfg — a whole vibe 💖

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a short one but it's lowkey iconic. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vf_rebuild_host_mac_cfg — the function that adds broadcast and the VF's perm_addr/LAA. that's literally the whole thing, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_vf_rebuild_host_mac_cfg (struct ice_vf *vf );

like yes, one argument, one int coming back at you. slay.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vf — the VF you're adding MAC filters for. that's your main character right there 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: you call this after a VF VSI has been re-added/rebuilt during reset. and the PF driver? it always re-adds a broadcast filter and the VF's perm_addr/LAA after reset. every time. periodt. it's giving consistency, it's giving reliability, we love to see it ✨
