gelic_card_fill_rx_chain(9)

okay so bestie, this is the page for gelic_card_fill_rx_chain(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s lowkey iconic because it handles filling up the rx chain. 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This function fills all the descriptors in the rx chain: it allocates skbs and iommu-maps them. That’s the whole assignment, no cap. ✨

It returns 0 on success, and < 0 on failure. So yeah, 0 is the slay outcome, and anything below zero is the “oop” outcome. 😭
