✨ NAME ✨

atl1e_setup_ring_resources — bestie, this is the one that allocates the Tx / RX descriptor resources 💅

(and yes, the manual name is Kernel API Manual, hi, welcome to the kernel-side of the group chat 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int atl1e_setup_ring_resources (struct atl1e_adapter *adapter );

okay so it's giving "one job, one function" energy, and honestly? iconic ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the board private structure, aka the little main character that holds all the board-specific lore 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe check: this function is out here setting up those ring resources, and when it's done it tells you how it went 📣

  • Returns 0 on success — slay, we ate, no cap 💅
  • Returns a negative value on failure — not me crying at 3am 😭

That's literally it, that's the whole contract, and it ate 💯
