💅 ixgbevf_set_rlpml_vf — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbevf_set_rlpml_vf page ✨ this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey a tiny little function but it has main character energy anyway 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbevf_set_rlpml_vf — Set the maximum receive packet length 👑

like, it sets the max receive packet length. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 ixgbevf_set_rlpml_vf (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u16 max_size );

it returns an s32, it takes an struct ixgbe_hw *hw and a u16 max_size, and yes bestie the spacing in there is exactly how it's written, we do not touch it 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. it's giving "here's your hardware, go do something with it" 🫶
• max_size — value to assign to max frame size. literally the number you're handing over 🔥

ngl every single one of those is spelled exactly like that — don't come for me if you think a name looks weird, that's just how the kernel names things 💀

mwah 💋 that's the page. this cutie came from the source ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 — same title, same ixgbevf_set_rlpml_vf(9) energy, forever and always periodt 🎀✨🦋
