idpf_add_del_mac_filters(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is idpf_add_del_mac_filters(9) from the Kernel API Manual — it's the function that adds or deletes mac filters, bestie. that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int idpf_add_del_mac_filters (struct idpf_adapter *adapter , struct
idpf_vport_config *vport_config , const u8 *default_mac_addr , u32
vport_id , bool add , bool async );

like, look at that signature. six arguments. she's got range. 🎀

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

okay so here's who's who in the group chat:

  • adapter — the adapter pointer, and the way she's used is to send the virtchnl message. she's literally the messenger. 🫶
  • vport_config — the persistent vport structure, and you're pulling the MAC filter list out of her. that's her whole job. iconic.
  • default_mac_addr — the default MAC address you're comparing against. yes, you have to compare. no, you can't skip it. 😭
  • vport_id — the vport identifier, used while preparing the virtchnl message. she's giving backstage pass energy. 🎟️
  • add — the add-or-delete flag. pick a lane, bestie. literally one or the other. ⭐
  • async — "don't wait for return message." lowkey the chaotic option but okay, we respect her choices. 💀

🎀 RETURN 🎀

0 on success, error on failure. that's it, that's the whole story. no cap. 🦋
