ksz9477_acl_...atching_rule(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ksz9477_acl_is_valid_matching_rule — the vibe check for your ACL entry 🎀

okay so real talk bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (the ksz9477_acl_...atching_rule(9) one, yes the title got chopped in the middle, we love a mysterious queen 💅). Anyway. You clicked on this function, so let's get you fed. 🍓

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ksz9477_acl_is_valid_matching_rule (u8 *entry );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • entry — a pointer to the ACL entry buffer 🫶. That's it. That's the whole argument list. She's low maintenance, she's iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does she actually do? ksz9477_acl_is_valid_matching_rule takes a look at the ACL entry buffer you handed her and checks whether it contains a valid matching rule — and she does it by inspecting two fields: the Mode field (MD) and the Enable field (ENB). 👑

That's the whole bit. She peeks at MD and ENB, decides if the rule is legit, and gets on with her day. No cap. ✨

💜 RETURN 💜

  • true — yup, it's a valid matching rule, slay 💅
  • false — nope, not a valid matching rule, and she's not sorry 😭

okay that's the whole page!! 💖 this cutie came to you courtesy of ./drivers/net/dsa/microchip, dated October 2026, from the Kernel API Manual — and yes, that's the full, un-chopped, completely valid source-and-date situation, so you can screenshot it for the group chat 📸✨ periodt. 🎀
