π free_all_tx_skbs β a Kernel API Manual moment (section 9, bestie) π
okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, section 9 of the manual, and there's this little function that just... clears the whole tx queue. no drama, no leftovers. it's giving "clean slate era" and honestly? we're obsessed. β¨

txqβ the tx queue. that's the one. the queue in question. the queue whose skbs are about to be so freed. π«Ά
π SEE ALSO π
bestie you are NOT ready for this friend group. literally the whole squad:
- the kernel file itself, living its truth at

like, the map/unmap/free skb trio? iconic. the init/clean txq duo? main character energy. read them all, iykyk. π
ngl this one's short and sweet β but that's the point. it frees all skbs in the tx queue and then it's done. periodt. π
