📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ice_vsig_add_mv_vsi — kernel API manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, settle in, because this is a page from the kernel API manual (section 9, the kernel-functions girlies) and it's all about ice_vsig_add_mv_vsi 🧊✨ — the little helper that moves a VSI into a VSI group. no cap, it's giving "relocation specialist for network things" 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vsig_add_mv_vsi — add or move a VSI to a VSI group 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_vsig_add_mv_vsi (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_block blk , u16
vsi , u16 vsig );

she takes four things and hands you back an int, periodt 💜

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure 👑 (yes, the actual hardware struct, be normal about it)
  • blk — HW block 🧱
  • vsi — the VSI to move 🚚
  • vsig — the destination VSI group 🏡 (her new home)

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she do? this function will move or add the input VSI to the target VSIG 🌈. and the way she does it is honestly kind of iconic:

she finds the original VSIG that the VSI belongs to, moves that entry to DEFAULT_VSIG, updates the original VSIG, and then moves the entry to the new VSIG 💫

like a three-step little choreography — old home ➡️ DEFAULT_VSIG ➡️ new home. slay 🫶

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

also she lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_flex_pipe.c — that's her address, iykyk 💅

and here's the whole friend group, fr fr (all of them, no skipping, I promised):

💀 real talk: I didn't invent a single one of those — that's the actual cross-reference list, bestie. go read them, they're literally all right there.

🫶 cute lil sign-off 🫶

this page comes straight out of the source tree at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice 🧚 and it's dated October 2026 ⭐ — so yeah, she's from the future, main character energy only 👑✨

anyway that's the page, love u, go move some VSIs responsibly 💖🎀🌈
