💅 ixgbe_set_vfta_generic — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, gather round, because today we're looking at ixgbe_set_vfta_generic(9) from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? she's serving "one job, done correctly" energy. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_set_vfta_generic — Set VLAN filter table. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

like, look at her. five arguments, returns an int, absolutely iconic. 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. it's giving "here's the hardware, please be normal about it". 🫶
  • vlan — the VLAN id to write to the VLAN filter. literally the whole point of the function, main character energy fr fr.
  • vind — the VMDq output index that maps a queue to a VLAN id in VFVFB. yes, that's the exact name. yes, it's a lot. iykyk. 💀
  • vlan_on — boolean flag to turn on/off VLAN in VFVF. she's a switch. a little on/off girlie. ✨
  • vlvf_bypass — boolean flag indicating that updating the default pool is okay. lowkey important: this flag is about permission to touch the default pool, not a promise that you should. 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

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

that's the entire description. short, sweet, no notes. honestly obsessed with how she doesn't over-explain herself. 🧚

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay buckle up bestie because this list is LONG and we are NOT skipping a single one — the manpage said "all of them" and i said "periodt". 💅

First up, the kernel file where this lives:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c

and now the whole friend group, in order, no one left behind:

see? all of them. every single one. we ate that list and left no crumbs. 🔥

🍓 a lil sign-off 🍓

this page came from the source ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (the terminal cut it off, not me, blame the column width 😭), dated October 2026, and it's the ixgbe_set_vfta_generic(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. go read the real thing if you want the full path un-truncated, bestie. ily, bye! 💖✨🎀
