💖 atl1_alloc_rx_buffers(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the atl1_alloc_rx_buffers page from the Kernel API Manual — yes it's a kernel function page, and yes it's lowkey iconic. grab a snack 🍓, we're doing driver internals.

---

✨ NAME ✨

atl1_alloc_rx_buffers — replace used receive buffers 🫶

like, the receive ring's been chugging along, some buffers got consumed, and this is the glow-up that hands fresh ones back out. main character energy fr fr.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u16 atl1_alloc_rx_buffers (struct atl1_adapter *adapter );

that's the whole vibe. one argument, returns a u16. periodt. ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — address of board private structure 💅

that's it, that's the only thing it takes. it's literally just a pointer to the board's private struct, no cap.

ngl bestie, this one is short but she's doing real work. don't skip the argument, the whole thing runs on it. 😭
