ixgbe_set_sriov_queues(9)

💅 ixgbe_set_sriov_queues(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about one very specific little function that lives in the ixgbe driver. buckle up, it's niche but it slays ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_set_sriov_queues — literally the function that allocates queues for SR-IOV devices 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ixgbe_set_sriov_queues (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter );

yes bestie, it returns a bool and it takes exactly one pointer, no cap 🫶

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• adapter — the board private structure you're initializing. that's the whole thing. she's the main character of this call 💅

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so when SR-IOV (Single Root IO Virtualization) is enabled, this function goes ahead and allocates the queues and the VM pools where it makes sense to do so. that's the assignment and it ate 🔥

and if RSS is available? then it also tries to enable RSS and map everything accordingly. lowkey multitasking icon behaviour ⭐

💀 reminder bestie: this is kernel API territory — you're touching real queue allocation for real SR-IOV devices, so read the source before you go pressing buttons 🙈

okay that's the whole page, mwah 🍓 this one came from the source path starting ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, future girlie energy 🧚💖 periodt.
