ice_vsig_alloc_val(9)

💅 ice_vsig_alloc_val — from the Kernel API Manual (yes, that Kernel API Manual, bestie) 🎀

okay so welcome to the ice_vsig_alloc_val(9) page!! this is the manual for one (1) tiny little function in the ice driver and she is, honestly, iconic. it's giving "small but mighty". let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_vsig_alloc_val — allocate a new VSIG by value 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u16 ice_vsig_alloc_val (struct ice_hw *hw , enum ice_block blk , u16
vsig );

she takes three args and hands you back a u16, no cap 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. literally the hardware, hand it over 🫴
• blk — HW block. that's the block, bestie 👑
• vsig — the VSIG to allocate. the actual star of the show ⭐

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like, this function will allocate a given VSIG specified by the vsig parameter. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you point at the VSIG you want, she allocates it, everyone claps 🙈✨
