💖 __ice_maybe_stop_tx(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, we’re in the Kernel API Manual and this page is all about __ice_maybe_stop_tx(9) — tiny function, very specific job, no cap ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

__ice_maybe_stop_tx — the 2nd level check for Tx stop conditions 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is literally this:

int __ice_maybe_stop_tx (struct ice_tx_ring *tx_ring , unsigned int size
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• tx_ring — the ring we’re checking, bestie 🫶
• size — the size buffer we’re trying to assure is available 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

If a stop is needed, it returns -EBUSY; otherwise it returns 0. That’s the vibe check, periodt 💀✨
