okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes we're reading kernel docs for fun now, that's just who we are π. This one is ixgbevf_hv_set_vfta_vf, and listenβ¦ it's a Hyper-V variant. It's a stub. That's it. That's the whole personality. It's giving "I was put on the group project but I'm literally not doing anything" π and honestly? Iconic. No notes.
β¨ NAME β¨
ixgbevf_hv_set_vfta_vf β Hyper-V variant - just a stub.
Yeah. A stub. A little placeholder guy. It exists, it's here, it does nothing, and we stan a low-effort king π.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
s32 ixgbevf_hv_set_vfta_vf (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 vlan , u32 vind ,
bool vlan_on );
There it is, the whole signature. s32 in, four arguments that do absolutely nothing, vibes out. Slay I guess π
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
okay so here's the full cast of characters and every single one of them is unemployed π:
hwβ unusedvlanβ unusedvindβ unusedvlan_onβ unused
Not me listing them all anyway because we keep every detail, periodt π . They show up, they get named, they get passed in, and then nobody does anything with them. Main character energy but the script has no lines for them. Fr fr.
ngl if you were hoping this function would set a VLAN filter table entry⦠bestie it will Not. It's a stub. That's the lore. No cap.

Twenty-eight entries, zero skips, we ate that π«Άβ¨. Notice how the _hv_ ones are all siblings β the whole Hyper-V family is here and they're all doing their little stub thing together. Found family fr fr π§
okay that's the whole page, love u, go read ixgbevf_set_vfta_vf(9) if you actually want the real one π
mwah π β this was pulled from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and yes it says ixgbevf_hv_set_vfta_vf(9) at the bottom too because branding β¨
