🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vsi_rebuild — rebuilding a VSI after a reset, no cap 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int ice_vsi_rebuild (struct ice_vsi *vsi , u32 vsi_flags );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • vsi — the VSI that's getting rebuilt 💖 like, the whole point of the function, she's the guest of honor
  • vsi_flags — the flags that steer the VSI rebuild flow 🦋 lowkey the personality of the whole operation

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the vibe check: you set vsi_flags to ICE_VSI_FLAG_INIT when you want to initialize a brand-new VSI, or you set it to ICE_VSI_FLAG_NO_INIT when you want to rebuild an existing VSI in hardware 🔥 pick your lane, bestie.

And the return value? She returns 0 on success and a negative value on failure 😭 so if you see a negative number, that's your sign, periodt.

ngl, always check the return value — 0 is the slay outcome, negative is the "not me" outcome 💀
