ice_vsig_free(9)

🫶 ice_vsig_free(9) — free VSI group 🫶

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for ice_vsig_free, and it is literally about freeing a VSI group. bestie, it's giving tiny cleanup moment with main character energy. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ice_vsig_free — free VSI group. periodt.

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

vibe check on the arguments, no cap:

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure. yes, the hardware struct itself, hand it over 🫶
• blk — HW block. which block? the HW block, bestie.
• vsig — VSIG to remove. this is the one getting the eviction notice 👋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The function removes all VSIs associated with the input VSIG and moves them to the DEFAULT_VSIG, then marks the VSIG available. the way that it just relocates every associated VSI into DEFAULT_VSIG and marks that VSIG available after? iconic cleanup behavior, fr fr. 💖
