💅 dev_disable_lro(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dev_disable_lro — disable Large Receive Offload on a device. That's literally the whole vibe: we're turning LRO off on a net device, bestie. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void dev_disable_lro (struct net_device *dev );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the device. Like, the net device you're doing the LRO-disabling thing on. That's it. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so: this disables Large Receive Offload (LRO) on a net device. ✨

⚠️ It must be called under RTNL. No cap. That is a requirement, not a suggestion. 😭

This is needed if received packets may be forwarded to another interface. That's the situation where you need this, fr fr. 💅
