💅 gelic_net_pass_skb_up(9) — Kernel API Manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, this is the page for gelic_net_pass_skb_up in the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey giving "small function, very important delivery job" energy 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gelic_net_pass_skb_up — takes an skb from a descriptor and passes it on 💌

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void gelic_net_pass_skb_up (struct gelic_descr *descr , struct
       gelic_card *card , struct net_device *netdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• descr — the descriptor to process, bestie 🫶
• card — the card structure
• netdev — the net_device structure that the packet is gonna get passed to 💌

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what's the vibe? This function iommu-unmaps the skb, fills out the skb structure, and passes the data to the stack. Iconic behavior, honestly ✨

Important caveat, no cap: the descriptor state is not changed. Like, it stays exactly as it was — no sneaky little state glow-up, periodt 💅
