💅 ice_vsi_alloc_arrays(9) — the glow-up ✨

okay so first things first, bestie: this is ice_vsi_alloc_arrays(9), page nine of the Kernel API Manual, and it's genuinely one of those little functions that makes the whole VSI situation work. Let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vsi_alloc_arrays — Allocate queue and vector pointer arrays for the VSI.

like, it literally goes and grabs the pointer arrays for your queues and your vectors. both. it's giving "prepared" 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_vsi_alloc_arrays (struct ice_vsi *vsi );

copy it exactly bestie, spaces and all, don't @ me 😭

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vsi — VSI pointer. that's it, that's the whole argument. one (1) pointer, main character energy 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the whole vibe check:

  • On error: returns error code (negative)
  • On success: returns 0

not me being obsessed with a function that keeps it simple 😌 no cap, if you get a negative number back, something went wrong — read the sign, it's literally telling you 🔥

lowkey reminder: everything above is exactly what the page says. don't go inventing behaviour, bestie, read the source ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_lib.c if you need the deep lore 🙈

and that's the page!! mwah 💋 this cutie lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, and this edition is dated October 2026 — so if you're reading it in some other timeline, that's between you and the kernel. periodt. 🌈👑🦋
