STRUCT DEVLINK_TRAP_POLICER_ITEM(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> page for struct devlink_trap_policer_item(9) — she's niche, she's networky, she's giving "I live in ./net/devlink and I know it" 💅 let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

struct devlink_trap_policer_item — Packet trap policer attributes. that's it, that's the vibe 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct devlink_trap_policer_item {
    const struct devlink_trap_policer *policer;
    u64 rate;
    u64 burst;
    struct list_head list;
 };

like, literally copy that exactly, no cap — she's four fields and every single one of them matters 🔥

🦋 Members 🦋

  • policer — Immutable packet trap policer attributes. immutable!! she does not change, she is who she is, main character energy 👑
  • rate — Rate in packets / sec. yes, packets per second, that's the unit, don't @ me 🍓
  • burst — Burst size in packets. also packets. consistent icon behavior ⭐
  • list — trap_policer_list member. she's on the list, literally 💀

🧚 Description 🧚

Describes packet trap policer attributes. Created by devlink during trap policer registration ✨

that's the whole lore bestie — devlink herself builds this thing at registration time, and then it just sits there being all descriptive and immutable and iconic 🌈
