📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 fm10k_receive_skb(9) — like, the kernel API manual, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the <rainbow>fm10k</rainbow> chapter of the Kernel API Manual — yes, that's the manual name, and yes, the star of this page is the one and only fm10k_receive_skb(9). grab a lil snack, we're learning networking internals 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_receive_skb — a helper function to handle rx indications 😌 literally just the little buddy that helps you deal with rx (receive-side) indications. no cap, that's the whole job description.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void fm10k_receive_skb (struct fm10k_q_vector *q_vector , struct sk_buff
*skb );

it returns void — so like, it does its thing and doesn't hand anything back. main character energy, gives nothing, slays anyway 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • q_vector — a structure containing interrupt and ring information ✨ this is the whole vibe-check container: interrupts and rings, all bundled up.
  • skb — the packet to send up 🫶 yep, this is the actual packet getting sent up the stack. go lil packet, go!

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

lowkey the best part, because it's the whole friend group 👯‍♀️ — first off, the kernel file where this lives:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_main.c

and then, the entire extended crew (iykyk):

like, that's the whole group chat right there — alloc/free, init/exit, rx and tx, all of it. obsessed honestly 🔥

ngl bestie, there's only so much on this page — it's a helper function, it handles rx indications, and it has a lot of friends. that's the tea ☕

and that's the page! 💜 the footer said ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... (truncated source path, the full one being ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/fm10k/fm10k_main.c territory) dated October 2026, for fm10k_receive_skb(9). mwah, thanks for reading, go read the SEE ALSO list again, it's iconic 😭👑🎀
