💖 fm10k_set_rss_queues(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the fm10k_set_rss_queues page, and yes, it's giving "small function, big friend group" energy. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

fm10k_set_rss_queues — allocate queues for RSS, that's the whole vibe 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool fm10k_set_rss_queues (struct fm10k_intfc *interface );

Like. That's it. That's the whole call. One struct in, one bool out, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • interface — the board private structure you're gonna initialize. it's the main character here, honestly 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So this one is literally our "base" multiqueue mode — the default, the blueprint, the original recipe 🧚

RSS stands for Receive Side Scaling, and what it does is lowkey iconic: it tries to allocate one Rx queue per CPU, and if there's any left to give, one Tx queue per CPU too. one per CPU, both directions, spread the love evenly 💖

that's it. that's the function. it's not doing the most, it's doing exactly what it says. periodt ✨

like, that's a whole group chat and they're all in it 🫶🔥

lowkey a note for the girlies: this page is from the source ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... (yes, that's how it's printed, truncated and all, we don't fix what the manpage gave us 🙈), dated October 2026, and it's serving fm10k_set_rss_queues(9) realness. mwah 💋

that's the page, bestie! go forth and scale those receive sides 🌈⭐💜
