i40e_consume_xdp_buff(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to i40e_consume_xdp_buff — this is the Kernel API Manual page for i40e_consume_xdp_buff, and what it does is consume all the buffers of the packet and update ntc. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

void i40e_consume_xdp_buff (struct i40e_ring *rx_ring , struct xdp_buff
*xdp , struct i40e_rx_buffer *rx_buffer );

like, void return, three args, clean, minimal, she's an icon 💖 (and yes, keep the spacing exactly like that, do not touch it, periodt — the manpage literally prints it that way).

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

the three besties she takes as input:

• rx_ring — the rx descriptor ring that's gonna transact packets on 🌀 this is the ring where all the packet action happens, okay?
• xdp — an xdp_buff that points to the data 🌸 like, where the actual bytes live, iykyk
• rx_buffer — the rx_buffer of the eop desc 🔥 "eop" as in end-of-packet, not me explaining that like it's nothing 💀

that's the whole roster, no cap. three args, no defaults, no optional extras, no secret fourth thing hiding in the back 🙈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay so the kernel file this lives in is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.c — and it's giving extremely popular, because it has a whole friend group. here's the full squad, all of them, not skipping a single one 👑

like… the way she knows everyone 😭 go read them all, bestie, it's a whole rabbit hole and honestly it's giving main character energy 🌈

and that's the page!! 🫶 this little love letter dropped from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's filed under the very iconic name i40e_consume_xdp_buff(9). slay, bye 💜✨
