ice_vsig_remove_vsi(9)

💅 ice_vsig_remove_vsi — remove VSI from VSIG

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a little function in the ice driver fam and honestly? she's a whole vibe. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

like yes, that's the whole signature, no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the hardware structure 🔥 that's your entry pass to the actual silicon, okurrr
• blk — HW block 🌸 which block we're messing with, enum ice_block style
• vsi — VSI to remove 👋 the one getting kicked out of the group chat
• vsig — VSI group to remove from 🫂 the group chat in question

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way that this works is: the function will remove the input VSI from its VSI group and move it to the DEFAULT_VSIG 🦋 periodt. that's the whole job. she's a mover, not a decorator — she relocates your VSI to the default hangout spot ✨

literally it's giving "you're not in this VSIG anymore, go hang with the defaults" 😭 and the function returns an int, bestie — check it, as always 💅

🫶 friendly lil reminder: ice_vsig_add_mv_vsi(9) and this one are the matched set — if you're adding, you're gonna be removing too at some point. iykyk.

so yeah, that's the whole page bestie 🌸 it's giving tiny function with a very loud reference section, and we love her for it 💖
