💅 __ice_xmit_xdp_ring — the Kernel API Manual girlies know ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about __ice_xmit_xdp_ring — which, no cap, is the function that submits a frame to the XDP ring for transmission. it's giving "put the packet on the ride and let it go" energy 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

__ice_xmit_xdp_ring — submit frame to XDP ring for transmission 💌

literally that's the whole job. hand over a frame, it goes to the XDP ring, the ring does its little transmission thing. iconic behavior.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int __ice_xmit_xdp_ring (struct xdp_buff *xdp , struct ice_tx_ring
*xdp_ring , bool frame );

she takes three things and returns an int, periodt. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• xdp — XDP buffer to be placed onto Tx descriptors. yes bestie, this is the buffer that gets dropped onto the Tx descriptors. it's the main character of the call, honestly 👑
• xdp_ring — XDP ring for transmission. the ring that does the transmitting. that's it, that's the vibe 🌀
• frame — whether this comes from .ndo_xdp_xmit. a lil' bool that tells you where the call is coming from, iykyk 🔍

ngl, three args, zero drama. she's clean.
