ENUM DPNI_OFFLOAD(9)

💅 enum dpni_offload(9) — so you wanna know what kind of offload we're talking about 🎀

okay bestie, real talk: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally just a little enum that tells you which offload a command is aimed at. that's the whole vibe. no cap, it's small but it's iconic in its own way ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum dpni_offload — identifies a type of offload targeted by the command 🎯

like, when a command needs to know "hey, which offload are we doing here?", this enum is the answer. it's giving traffic director energy 💁‍♀️

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum dpni_offload {
    DPNI_OFF_RX_L3_CSUM ,
    DPNI_OFF_RX_L4_CSUM ,
    DPNI_OFF_TX_L3_CSUM ,
    DPNI_OFF_TX_L4_CSUM

};

yes bestie, that trailing comma and that blank line before the closing brace are exactly how it's written — we copy verbatim in this house 💖

---

🦋 Constants 🦋

okay so there are literally four members, and they're all checksum-coded. hit it:

• DPNI_OFF_RX_L3_CSUM — Rx L3 checksum validation 🧾✨ (yep, receive side, layer 3, checksum gets validated)
• DPNI_OFF_RX_L4_CSUM — Rx L4 checksum validation 🔍💜 (receive side, layer 4, same deal)
• DPNI_OFF_TX_L3_CSUM — Tx L3 checksum generation 🛠️🌸 (transmit side, layer 3, the checksum gets generated)
• DPNI_OFF_TX_L4_CSUM — Tx L4 checksum generation 🛠️⭐ (transmit side, layer 4, generated again)

lowkey notice the pattern: RX = validate, TX = generate, and L3/L4 each get one of each. the way that symmetry ate 💅

and that's the whole page bestie!! 🎀 tiny enum, huge main-character energy.

later, besties — this was served fresh from ./drivers/net/ethernet/freesca..., dated October 2026, and it's literally titled enum dpni_offload(9) 💖🦋 slay 💅
