π idpf_sideband_flow_type_ena β check if steering is enabled for a flow type β¨
okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie π«Ά this is the page for idpf_sideband_flow_type_ena(9) and it's genuinely such a little icon β one function, one question, one boolean answer. no cap. let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
idpf_sideband_flow_type_ena β literally just checks whether steering is enabled for a flow type. that's the whole vibe check. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
bool idpf_sideband_flow_type_ena (struct idpf_vport *vport , u32 flow_type );
π ARGUMENTS π
vportβ the private data struct π she's the main character here, everything hangs off herflow_typeβ the flow type you wanna check (straight out ofethtool.h, iykyk) π¦
π RETURN π
she gives you true if sideband filters are allowed for flow_type, and false otherwise. that's it, that's the whole personality π
ngl this is the most low-effort function on the whole page and honestly? respect. she knows what she is. π€·ββοΈ

the kernel file, bestie β she lives right here: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_virtchnl.c πβ¨

like I said. enormous. ate though ππ₯
okay that's the page!! before you go β this whole thing ships out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf, date stamp October 2026, and it's the idpf_sideband_flow_type_ena(9) kernel API manual you've been reading. slay, go read the source bestie, ily ππβ¨π¦
