STRUCT IDPF_MAC_FILTER(9)

🌸 struct idpf_mac_filter(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and buckle up because today we're looking at a lil struct out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf 💖 it's giving "small but important" and honestly? we're obsessed.

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct idpf_mac_filter — no cap, that's the whole name section. the original page literally leaves the description blank, so we're not gonna invent one 🙈 she's mysterious, she's lowkey an icon, and that's that.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, copied exactly so you can't mess it up:

struct idpf_mac_filter {
    struct list_head list;
    u8 macaddr[ETH_ALEN];
    bool remove;
    bool add;
 };

---

✨ Members ✨

• list — the list member field. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀 she's a struct list_head doing list-member things.
• macaddr — the MAC address, chillin' in a u8 macaddr[ETH_ALEN]. 🦋
• remove — a bool saying the filter should be removed (virtchnl). bye bestie 💅
• add — a bool saying the filter should be added (virtchnl). hiiii bestie 🌸

fr fr, those two flags are literally tagged (virtchnl) in the source — keep that in mind, iykyk.
