e1000_clean_rx_irq(9)

e1000_clean_rx_irq(9) 👑

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for e1000_clean_rx_irq — manual name folded in right here like a little name tag, because we're cute like that 🫶.

---

💖 NAME 💖

e1000_clean_rx_irq — Send received data up the network stack. That's the name vibe: received data goes up the network stack, and this function is the main character doing it. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the signature, exactly as it appears — no edits, no remix, no cap:

bool e1000_clean_rx_irq (struct e1000_ring *rx_ring , int *work_done , int work_to_do );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rx_ring — Rx descriptor ring; the ring where the received descriptors live. like the receipt stack for the Rx side 🧾
• work_done — output parameter for indicating completed work; this is where the completed-work info goes.
• work_to_do — how many packets we can clean; the packet-cleaning limit.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the return value is literally the whole point: it indicates whether actual cleaning was done. and there is no guarantee that everything was cleaned — not everything, not automatically, don't assume 😭. it's giving "yes, some actual cleaning happened" energy, not "the whole ring is spotless," iykyk.
