idpf_sideband_action_ena(9)

💅 idpf_sideband_action_ena 💅

hey bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ today we're looking at a tiny little bool check with main-character energy: it asks whether steering is enabled for an action, and whether sideband filters are allowed for the flow spec. lowkey simple, highkey useful 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

idpf_sideband_action_ena — check if steering is enabled for action, bestie 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool idpf_sideband_action_ena (struct idpf_vport *vport , struct
       ethtool_rx_flow_spec *fsp );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• vport — the private data struct, aka your vport situation 🫶
• fsp — the flow spec, aka the thing we're checking 👀

---

🎀 RETURN 🎀

Returns true if sideband filters are allowed for fsp, and false otherwise. that's it, that's the vibe check ✅
