💅 ice_vsi_man...an_insertion(9) 💅

okay so before we even start — hi bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, the section 9 corner of the universe where we talk about kernel functions instead of, like, running them. and today's main character is literally called ice_vsi_manage_vlan_insertion, which the page header shortens to ice_vsi_man...an_insertion(9) because apparently even man pages get a little truncated when the name is too long. relatable tbh 😭

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vsi_manage_vlan_insertion — the function that manages VLAN insertion for the VSI, but specifically on the Tx side. that's the whole vibe. periodt 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ice_vsi_manage_vlan_insertion (struct ice_vsi *vsi );

like, it returns an int (obvi), it takes one pointer to a struct ice_vsi, and that's the entire signature. no cap, that's it. 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• vsi — the VSI being changed. that's the one and only thing you hand it. she's the VSI we're messing with, she's the whole point, she's the main character energy of this function call 💜

ngl, that's the entire argument list. one argument. iconic, lowkey. 🍓

first up, the source file where this all lives:
