✨ NAME ✨

e1000_rx_checksum — Receive Checksum Offload 🎀 (that's it, that's the whole name, she's iconic and concise)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void e1000_rx_checksum (struct e1000_adapter *adapter , u32 status_err ,
       struct sk_buff *skb );

look at her go 😭 returns void, takes three args, no notes. copy it exactly if you're typing it out, i'm serious, character for character, don't get cute with it 🙈

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • adapter — the board private structure 👑 like, the adapter's own little private club, it's giving main character energy for the whole board
  • status_err — a u32 holding the receive descriptor status and error fields 🍓 so both the status bits and the error bits live in here together, besties sharing one variable
  • skb — the socket buffer with the received data 📦 literally the packet's lil home, that's where the data actually is
