STRUCT VIRTCHNL2_FLOW_RULE(9)

💖 struct virtchnl2_flow_rule(9) — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

Okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for struct virtchnl2_flow_rule, and we are gonna get into it. It's literally the little struct that represents one flow steering rule. One rule. Main character energy, no cap. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct virtchnl2_flow_rule — represent one flow steering rule

Like, it's the blueprint for a single flow-steering rule. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct virtchnl2_flow_rule {
    struct virtchnl2_proto_hdrs proto_hdrs;
    struct virtchnl2_rule_action_set action_set;
    __le32 priority;
    u8 pad[8];
 };

Periodt. That's the struct. Don't touch the fields, they're iconic. 💅

✨ Members ✨

• proto_hdrs — array of protocol header buffers representing match criteria. Think of it as the "what are we even matching on" section of the outfit. 🧚
• action_set — series of actions to be applied for given rule. This is the "and then what do we do about it" part. 💖
• priority — rule priority. Yes bestie, ordering matters. 👑
• pad — padding for future extensions. It's giving "reserved for the future" and honestly? Respect. 🌈
