💅 ice_vsi_ena_outer_stripping(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to this Kernel API Manual page for ice_vsi_ena_outer_stripping(9) — yes, it’s niche kernel lore, iykyk, but we’re gonna get through it together, fr fr. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vsi_ena_outer_stripping — enable outer VLAN stripping. 💖

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

int ice_vsi_ena_outer_stripping (struct ice_vsi *vsi , u16 tpid );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • vsi — the VSI to configure. literally the thing we’re setting up. ✨
  • tpid — the TPID to enable outer VLAN stripping for. no cap, that’s the one we’re targeting. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this function enables outer VLAN stripping via the VSI context. slay. 💖

⚠️ bestie, highkey important: this function should only be used if DVM is supported. also, it should never be called directly — it should be part of ice_vsi_vlan_ops if it’s needed. periodt.

The way that the VSI context only supports a single TPID for insertion and stripping? yeah, that means setting the TPID for stripping will affect the TPID for insertion. callers need to be aware of this limitation, no cap. 😭

Only modify outer VLAN stripping settings and the VLAN TPID. Outer VLAN insertion settings are unmodified — iconic behavior, honestly. ✨

This enables hardware to strip a VLAN tag with the specified TPID to be stripped from the packet and placed in the receive descriptor. hardware main character energy. 🔥
