atl1c_clean_rx(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 atl1c_clean_rx — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: it's a kernel API manual kind of day, and we're deep in the Atheros atl1c driver. The star of the show? atl1c_clean_rx. Say it with me — it's giving network card energy, it's giving "I clean up packets so you don't have to" 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

atl1c_clean_rx — literally the NAPI Rx polling callback. That's her job. That's her whole vibe. She polls, she cleans, she keeps the receive path from drowning in packets. No cap. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int atl1c_clean_rx (struct napi_struct *napi , int budget );

Like… look at that signature. Two arguments, one return value, absolutely zero drama 🦋

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • napi — the napi info babes 💖 this is the NAPI struct handshake, the whole context of the polling moment
  • budget — the limit of packets to clean 🧹✨ she's literally your cap on how many packets we're gonna tidy up before we clock out. Respect the budget, honor the budget.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

First things first, the home base — the kernel file where all of this lives:

./drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/atl1c/atl1c_main.c

And now the whole friend group 💅 (yes, we're listing every single one, don't @ me):

I mean… the roster? Iconic. The way this driver has a function for everything and they all cross-reference each other? Main character behavior, honestly 🌈

💀 tiny note: this page is sourced from ./drivers/net/ethernet/atheros... and it's dated October 2026 — so yes, we're reading the future, bestie. atl1c_clean_rx(9) forever 💜🙈

okay that's the page, go forth and clean those rx packets, mwah 🍓🧚‍♀️
