💜 ixgbe_set_vfta_82598 — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: it's a Kernel API Manual page, the star of the show is ixgbe_set_vfta_82598, and it's giving "tiny function, big VLAN energy." Let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_set_vfta_82598 — Set VLAN filter table. that's it, that's the vibe 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_set_vfta_82598 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 vlan , u32 vind ,
       bool vlan_on , bool vlvf_bypass );

like, five args, returns an int, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. literally the hardware baddie itself 💖
  • vlan — VLAN id to write to VLAN filter. the id you're sliding into the table ✨
  • vind — VMDq output index that maps queue to VLAN id in VFTA. yes it's a real thing, iykyk 🌈
  • vlan_on — boolean flag to turn on/off VLAN in VFTA. on or off, main character toggle energy 👑
  • vlvf_bypass — boolean flag — unused 🙈 like it's invited to the function but it's just standing in the corner, contributing nothing

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

Turn on/off specified VLAN in the VLAN filter table.

that's the whole bit, fr fr — you pick a VLAN, you flip it on or off in the VFTA, and the function goes about its business. no drama, no extra steps, just a clean little on/off moment ⭐

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_82598.c — that's where the lore lives 📖

and the whole 82598 friend group, squad assemble 🧚:

all 22 of them, nothing skipped, we ate that list 💅🍓

ngl the footer got a little truncated on the way here — it's from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and it's the ixgbe_set_vfta_82598(9) page in the Kernel API Manual. iconic, periodt 💜🌈

okay that's the whole page, go set some VLAN filters bestie, you're gonna slay ✨🫶🎀
