i40e_fd_handle_status(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 i40e_fd_handle_status(9) — the i40e kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so real quick: this whole page lives in the <pink>i40e_fd_handle_status</pink> section of the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel one, iykyk) — and we're about to make it make sense. no cap.

🌸 NAME

i40e_fd_handle_status — bestie, it checks the Programming Status for FD. that's the whole vibe check right there 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS

void i40e_fd_handle_status (struct i40e_ring *rx_ring , u64 qword0_raw ,
       u64 qword1 , u8 prog_id );

like… it returns nothing (void), it takes four things, and it's just out here doing its little job 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS

  • rx_ring — the Rx ring for this descriptor. yes queen, the ring the descriptor belongs to 🌈
  • qword0_raw — qword0. that's it. that's the description. raw and unfiltered, we love that for it 🙈
  • qword1 — qword1 after le_to_cpu. so it's already been converted, don't come for it 💜
  • prog_id — the id that was originally used for programming. the og id, the one from the start ⭐

🔥 DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function is literally here to verify if the FD programming or invalidation that SW (that's software, bestie) requested from the HW (hardware, obviously 💀) actually succeeded or not, and then to take actions accordingly. that's it. that's the whole main character energy.

like it's giving "did the thing work or did it flop" and either way it handles it. no notes, periodt 👑

the friend group 💖 — go say hi:

ngl that's a lot of i40e functions but every single one of them ate and left no crumbs 🔥

and that's the whole page bestie!! one last thing before you go — this whole thing comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, dated October 2026, and it's filed under i40e_fd_handle_status(9). mwah, love u, go read some source code 🧚💖 🎀
