__idpf_rx_pr...s_skb_fields(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual page for __idpf_rx_process_skb_fields (the header does that little __idpf_rx_pr...s_skb_fields(9) abbreviation thing, but we know her). She is here to Populate skb header fields from Rx descriptor. iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int __idpf_rx_process_skb_fields (struct idpf_rx_queue *rxq , struct
       sk_buff *skb , const struct virtchnl2_rx_flex_desc_adv_nic_3 *rx_desc );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rxq — Rx descriptor ring packet is being transacted on. that's the ring, bestie.
• skb — pointer to current skb being populated. she's the main character getting her fields filled in.
• rx_desc — Receive descriptor. the receipt, literally.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way this works: this function checks the ring, descriptor, and packet information in order to populate the hash, checksum, protocol, and other fields within the skb. no cap — ring + descriptor + packet info go in, and the skb gets its hash, checksum, protocol, and other fields. that's the whole glow-up. 💅

🌸 RETURN 🌸

0 on success and error code on failure. so 0 is the slay case; anything else is the error code saying "not today." 😭
