bnx2x_set_gro_params(9)

💅 bnx2x_set_gro_params(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — yes, the big-league kernel functions section 🫶. This one's called bnx2x_set_gro_params, and it's literally the lil' helper that does your GRO math for you ✨

---

🌸 NAME

bnx2x_set_gro_params — compute GRO values 💫

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS

void bnx2x_set_gro_params (struct sk_buff *skb , u16 parsing_flags , u16
len_on_bd , unsigned int pkt_len , u16 num_of_coalesced_segs );

no cap, five arguments, one void return — she doesn't hand anything back, she just does the thing 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS

• skb — packet skb 🌈 (the packet, bestie, the actual skb)
• parsing_flags — parsing flags from the START CQE 👑
• len_on_bd — total length of the first packet for the aggregation. 🎀
• pkt_len — length of all segments 🦋
• num_of_coalesced_segs — count of segments 🍓

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

So what she does is: approximate value of the MSS for this aggregation, calculated using the first packet of it 🔥. Then she'll compute the number of aggregated segments, and gso_type ✨. That's the whole vibe check — MSS-ish math, segment count, gso_type. Periodt 💅
