💅 ixgbe_configure_dcb — a Kernel API Manual moment 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, the ixgbe edition. sit down, grab a boba, we're talking about one single function and it's gonna be adorable and also extremely real.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_configure_dcb — configure DCB hardware 🎀

like literally that's the whole job. configure. the. DCB. hardware. slay.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ixgbe_configure_dcb (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter );

no cap, that's the signature, copy it exactly, spaces and all, because yes the manpage really does have that little space before the ) and we respect it 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • adapter — the ixgbe adapter struct. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's the adapter struct, she's the main character, everyone else is a supporting character 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: the driver calls this one on open, to configure the DCB hardware. yep. on open. that's the moment ✨

and it's also called by the gennetlink interface whenever the DCB state is getting reconfigured — so she's not a one-time guest star, she comes back for the reunion episodes 🔥

it's giving "reliable friend who shows up twice and always delivers." periodt.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

first up, the source file, in case you want to go read the actual code like the icon you are:

and now. deep breath bestie. the friend group. it's a big friend group. ngl this list is long but we do not skip a single one, because every one of these is invited to the party 🎉

aaaaand that's the page 🧚 we did it, we got through all of them, nothing skipped, nothing merged, every single (9) accounted for 💜

little sign-off from your girl: this beauty lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and she was dated October 2026 — yes, future girl summer 🌈 stay hydrated, read your manpages, and don't touch hardware configs without reading the docs first, iykyk 💀💖
