cvm_oct_check_rcv_error(9)

💖 cvm_oct_check_rcv_error — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the kernel API manual, and today's main character is cvm_oct_check_rcv_error — yes that's a whole mouthful, we're saying it with our chest 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

cvm_oct_check_rcv_error — the little function whose whole job is processing receive errors 🌸 like it literally exists to deal with the packet drama so you don't have to.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int cvm_oct_check_rcv_error (struct cvmx_wqe *work );

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one argument, one int coming back at you 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• work — a work queue entry that's pointing at the packet 👀 so basically it's the little handle that tells you which packet we're doing the vibe check on. no packet, no party.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea, and it's genuinely this simple:

• returns non-zero if the packet can be dropped 🗑️
• returns zero otherwise ✨

that's the whole contract, no cap. it's giving "small function, clear boundaries, knows its worth" and honestly? iconic. 👑

ngl, this is one of those functions where the description is shorter than the name — but the name is so long it all balances out fr fr 😭
