bnx2i_put_rq_buf(9)

💅 bnx2i_put_rq_buf(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is bnx2i_put_rq_buf — yes she's a function, yes she's from the kernel, and yes she's about to eat 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2i_put_rq_buf — replenish the RQ buffer, but only if the ring on the chip actually needs a doorbell. lowkey conditional queen 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bnx2i_put_rq_buf (struct bnx2i_conn *bnx2i_conn , int count );

she returns void, she takes two args, she does not do small talk 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bnx2i_conn — the iscsi connection that the event is being posted on. like, this is the girl we're posting to 🌈
• count — how many RQ buffers are being posted to the chip. the number of buffers. the amount. the quantity 🍓

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

no cap, here's the whole tea: for the 57710 family of devices, you do not need to ring the hardware doorbell. nope. not needed. she said "no doorbell for me thanks" 💀

fr fr that's the entire description — the 57710 family skips the hardware doorbell ring, that's it, that's the vibe ✨
