igc_hash_mc_addr(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so this page is igc_hash_mc_addr(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's here to explain how to Generate a multicast hash value ✨. Bestie, it's giving tiny-but-important helper energy 💅.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 igc_hash_mc_addr (struct igc_hw *hw , u8 *mc_addr );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. It's literally handing over the hardware context 🫶.
• mc_addr — pointer to a multicast address. Yes, that kind of address 💖.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This cutie generates a multicast address hash value 🔥. That hash value is used to determine the multicast filter table array address and new table value — and the page says to see igc_mta_set for that part 👀.

no cap: that's the whole description, and it ate 💅.
