💖 ixgbevf_update_mc_addr_list_vf(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — section 9, we're in the kernel function pages, and today's main character is ixgbevf_update_mc_addr_list_vf from the ixgbevf driver. no cap, it's a little one, but it's doing important work. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 ixgbevf_update_mc_addr_list_vf (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , struct
net_device *netdev );

it returns an s32, it takes two pointers, it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" 💅

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. like, the hardware vibes holder. she knows things about the silicon 👑
• netdev — pointer to net device structure. the network device's whole identity, lowkey 🌈

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Updates the Multicast Table Array. that's the whole description, and honestly? she ate. short, sweet, iconic, no notes ✨

like literally, that's it — it refreshes/updates the multicast table array. periodt 💅
