UNION IONIC_LIF_CONFIG(9)

👑 union ionic_lif_config(9) 👑 — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and specifically to union ionic_lif_config(9) — like, the whole entire manual name, said with love 🫶. This is the LIF configuration situation, and we're gonna walk through it together, no cap.

---

💖 NAME 💖

union ionic_lif_config — LIF configuration. that's it, that's the vibe ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

union ionic_lif_config {
    struct {
      u8 state;
      u8 rsvd[3];
      char name[IONIC_IFNAMSIZ];
      __le32 mtu;
      u8 mac[6];
      __le16 vlan;
      __le64 features;
      __le32 queue_count[IONIC_QTYPE_MAX];
    };
    __le32 words[64];
 };

like, look at her. she's a union and she's serving 💅

🌸 Members 🌸

• {unnamed_struct} — anonymous. no name, all main character energy 🙈 she simply is.
• state — the LIF state (it's an enum ionic_lif_state, iykyk) ⭐
• rsvd — reserved byte(s). don't touch, she's reserved 🎀
• name — the LIF name 💖
• mtu — the MTU 🦋
• mac — the Station MAC address 🌈
• vlan — the Default Vlan ID 🍓
• features — the Features (from enum ionic_eth_hw_features, obsessed) 🔥
• queue_count — Queue counts per queue-type 👑
• words — word access to struct contents — literally the same bits, accessed as words, iconic 🧚

ngl the way this union gives you both a nice named struct AND a raw __le32 words[64] view of the exact same contents? that's range, bestie 💀✨
