💅 ixgbe_init_...erfect_82599(9) 💅

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're looking at a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "deep lore of the network driver" and i'm obsessed. this is ixgbe_init_...erfect_82599(9), and yes the name is literally truncated with dots in the middle, that's not me being cute, that's just how it is 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_init_fdir_perfect_82599 — the function that initializes Flow Director perfect filters. like, it sets them up. it's the setup girlie. no cap 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_init_fdir_perfect_82599 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 fdirctrl );

that's the whole signature, character for character, don't come for me 🙈

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. it's literally just a pointer to the hardware struct, the main character of the operation 👑
  • fdirctrl — value to write to the flow director control register, and here's the little detail you cannot skip: it initially contains just the value of the Rx packet buffer allocation. so that's what you're handing in, bestie 🫶
