💅 atl1_clean_tx_ring(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about atl1_clean_tx_ring, and I need you to stay with me because it's actually so much simpler than it sounds. it's the function that frees the Tx buffers. that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

atl1_clean_tx_ring — literally just Free Tx Buffers 💖 like the name says what it does, no cap, main character energy from the very first line.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void atl1_clean_tx_ring (struct atl1_adapter *adapter );

ok so copy that exactly, spaces and all — yes the space before the closing paren is part of the look, don't come for me 🙈. it returns void, meaning it hands nothing back, it just does the thing and dips. periodt. 💅

---

👑 ARGUMENTS 👑

• adapter — the board private structure 🫶. this is the one thing you hand over, and it's the board's own private little structure, iykyk. she's the main character here, everything happens through her.
