ice_vsi_set_rss_flow_fld(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, bestie — this page is ice_vsi_set_rss_flow_fld(9) and it does exactly one thing:

ice_vsi_set_rss_flow_fld — Sets RSS input set for different flows ✨

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void ice_vsi_set_rss_flow_fld (struct ice_vsi *vsi );

literally one argument, returns nothing (void, she gives nothing back but she gives everything 💅).

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vsi — the VSI to be configured 🫶 like, the actual thing you're setting up. that's the whole assignment.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so listen, this function is not a "call it whenever" situation. it will only be called after a successful download package call, during initialization of the PF. iykyk.

and here's why, because the reason is actually kind of iconic: the downloaded package erases the RSS section 😭 so somebody has to go back in and redo it — and that somebody is this function. it configures RSS input sets for the different flow types, putting everything back the way it should be. main character energy fr fr.

now the ordering part, because this is the detail that matters 👑: the last profile added has the highest priority. so the 2 tuple profiles (i.e. IPv4 src/dst) get added before the 4 tuple profiles (i.e. IPv4 src/dst TCP src/dst port). order is everything, bestie. last one in gets the crown. periodt.
