💖 bnx2fc_rcv(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the bnx2fc_rcv(9) page — it's a Kernel API Manual moment, and honestly it's a short one but it's important, so let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2fc_rcv — literally bnx2fc's receive function, the one that gets called by NET_RX_SOFTIRQ 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int bnx2fc_rcv (struct sk_buff *skb , struct net_device *dev , struct
packet_type *ptype , struct net_device *olddev );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• skb — the receive socket buffer, aka the little package of packet data that just showed up 🎀
• dev — the associated net device, the one it's lowkey tied to
• ptype — context, yep that's the whole description, we move 🦋
• olddev — the last device, the one from before 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does it actually do? It receives the packet, builds an FC frame out of it, and passes it up ⭐ that's the whole vibe. Short, sweet, iconic.
