💅 ice_vsi_cfg_sw_lldp(9) — Config switch rules for LLDP packet handling ✨

okay so welcome to this Kernel API Manual moment, bestie. This page is all about ice_vsi_cfg_sw_lldp, and it is lowkey giving “small helper, very real switch-rule consequences.” 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vsi_cfg_sw_lldp — Config switch rules for LLDP packet handling 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ice_vsi_cfg_sw_lldp (struct ice_vsi *vsi , bool tx , bool create );

That’s the whole signature, no cap. 🎀

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vsi — the VSI being configured. This is the VSI getting the switch-rule treatment, periodt.
• tx — a bool to determine Tx or Rx rule. Tx? Rx? Pick your fighter. ⭐
• create — a bool to determine create or remove Rule. Yup, it’s the create-or-remove switch. 🦋

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here’s the tea: adding an ethtype Tx rule to the uplink VSI results in it being applied to the whole port. Not a tiny corner — the whole port. 😭

That means LLDP transmission for VFs will be blocked too. So like, be aware: this is not a “just one VSI” situation, bestie. No cap. 🔥
