ixgbe_ipsec_set_rx_sa(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ixgbe_ipsec_set_rx_sa — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ixgbe_ipsec_set_rx_sa page from the Kernel API Manual, aka the little corner of the kernel where we set up register bits so the hardware remembers your SA info 🎀 no cap, that's the whole vibe of the NAME section and I'm obsessed.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ixgbe_ipsec_set_rx_sa (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u16 idx , __be32 spi ,
u32 key[] , u32 salt , u32 mode , u32 ip_idx );

it returns void btw — no return value, it's giving "I do the thing and I don't need to announce it" 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • hw — the hw-specific details 🫶 like, all the hardware lore lives here
  • idx — the register index to write, literally the spot we're poking
  • spi — the security parameter index (yes that's SPI, not Serial Peripheral Interface, don't get it twisted 😭)
  • key — the key byte array 🗝️
  • salt — the salt bytes 🧂
  • mode — the rx decrypt control bits, this is the main character of the decrypt situation
  • ip_idx — the index into the IP table for the related IP address 🌈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

like, that's the whole friend group right there 💀 go say hi to all of them.

ngl this page is short but it ate. set the bits, save the SA info, move on. periodt. 👑
