fm10k_update_rx_drop_en(9)

💅 fm10k_update_rx_drop_en — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel-space tea 🍵) and it's about one tiny little function that does one tiny little job. no cap, it's short, but every crumb of it matters, so let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME

fm10k_update_rx_drop_en — configures the drop enable bits for Rx rings 🎀

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it goes in, it sets the drop enable bits, it leaves. iconic behavior honestly.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

void fm10k_update_rx_drop_en (struct fm10k_intfc *interface );

notice the void?? it returns literally nothing. it just does the thing and dips 💅

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS

• interface — the board private structure. yep, that's the whole description, she's low maintenance. it's the per-board state blob and this function needs a pointer to it, struct fm10k_intfc *, to do her little task 🦋

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

Configure the drop enable bits for the Rx rings.

like... that's the entire description fr fr 😭 she's not wordy, she's efficient. Rx rings get their drop enable bits configured, that's the assignment and she ate.

ngl there's no return value, no error codes, no signals, no env vars, no flags — this page is a minimalist queen and we respect that 🎀

the sign-off 💜

this whole thing comes from the source/version breadcrumb ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... and it's dated October 2026, filed under the manual name fm10k_update_rx_drop_en(9). that's the footer, that's the lore, and honestly? she's giving documentation main character energy. periodt. 🍓⭐
