bond_xmit_hash(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet bond_xmit_hash — straight out of the Kernel API Manual as bond_xmit_hash(9). she generates a hash value based on the xmit policy, and honestly? she ate. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

u32 bond_xmit_hash (struct bonding *bond , struct sk_buff *skb );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• bond — the bonding device. that's her home base, periodt.
• skb — the buffer to use for headers. yes, the headers come from here, no cap.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so what she does is literally iconic: this function extracts the necessary headers from the skb buffer and uses them to generate a hash based on the xmit_policy set in the bonding device. headers in, hash out, policy deciding the flavor. ✨

bestie note: the hash is based on the xmit_policy set in the bonding device — that's the vibe check this function is doing. iykyk. 🫶
