STRUCT VIRTCHNL2_PROMISC_INFO(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

struct virtchnl2_promisc_info β€” the promisc type info lil struct, bestie πŸ’…

So this is a manual page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about one tiny icon of a struct. Let's get into it 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct virtchnl2_promisc_info {
    __le32 vport_id;
    __le16 flags;
    u8 pad[2];
 };

Look at her. Three fields. Zero drama. Absolutely serving struct realness ✨


🌸 Members 🌸

  • vport_id β€” the vport id, obvs. That's the whole vibe of this field πŸ’–
  • flags β€” go peek at enum virtchnl2_promisc_flags, that's where the actual flag lore lives πŸ”₯
  • pad β€” literally just padding for future extensions, she's a placeholder holding space for tomorrow's features πŸŽ€

πŸ¦‹ Description πŸ¦‹

Okay so here's the flow, bestie, follow along:

The PF/VF sends the vport id and flags over to the CP β€” that's the handoff 🀝 β€” and then the CP performs the action and returns the status right back atcha.

This whole thing is associated with VIRTCHNL2_OP_CONFIG_PROMISCUOUS_MODE. That's her op, that's her moment, main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘

Ngl this one's short and sweet β€” but every field counts, so don't be skipping the pad, she's there for a reason 🌈

Okay that's the whole page, bestie!! This one came from ./include/linux/net/intel, dated October 2026, and it's the struct virt...promisc_info(9) page β€” mwah, iconic, no notes πŸ’…βœ¨πŸŽ€
