axienet_poll_controller(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

axienet_poll_controller — Axi Ethernet poll mechanism. This one comes straight from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's giving “small function, very specific job” energy 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void axienet_poll_controller (struct net_device *ndev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ndev — pointer to a net_device structure 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so this is the implementation of the Rx/Tx ISR poll mechanisms. The interrupts get disabled before the ISRs are polled, and then they get enabled back after polling is done. That's the whole flow, no cap 😭👑

The order matters, bestie: interrupts off first, poll the ISRs, interrupts back on after. Cute, clean, does exactly what it says 🦋
