fm10k_alloc_rx_buffers(9)

💖 fm10k_alloc_rx_buffers — a Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so hi!! 🫶 you found the page for fm10k_alloc_rx_buffers, and yes it's from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, we're folding it in right here at the top, no boring header line, we're better than that ✨). This one's short and sweet, so let's go, bestie — it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility" energy fr fr.

---

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_alloc_rx_buffers — literally just replace used receive buffers 💅 that's the whole gig. Nothing more, nothing less. Iconic, honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void fm10k_alloc_rx_buffers (struct fm10k_ring *rx_ring , u16
cleaned_count );

no cap, that's the exact signature — don't come for me about the line break, it's character for character what the page says 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

Two (2) arguments. Two! We love a low-maintenance function.

• rx_ring — the ring you're placing buffers on 🌀 like, this is the ring, the main character of the operation, no notes.
• cleaned_count — the number of buffers to replace 🔁 so it's a u16, and it's telling the function how many fresh ones to slide into place.

bestie reminder: rx_ring is a struct fm10k_ring * and cleaned_count is a u16, exactly like the synopsis says — don't be out here changing types, that's not the vibe 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 💅✨ this one came from the source/version shown as ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... (yes the page really does cut it off with the lil dots, I'm just being faithful 🎀) and it's dated October 2026 📅 — so when you cite it, cite it cute. ok bye, go allocate those buffers, iykyk 💜🔥
