💖 i40e_free_adminq_arq(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — section 9, driver guts, the good stuff. today's main character is i40e_free_adminq_arq, and honestly? she's a one-job icon. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_free_adminq_arq — Free Admin Queue receive rings. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_free_adminq_arq (struct i40e_hw *hw );

literally returns nothing (void, she gives nothing back and she's not sorry) and takes exactly one thing. queen of minimalism. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hardware structure. that's your struct i40e_hw *, the little handle on the actual silicon. give her the hardware and she'll do the rest 🫶

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

okay so here's the thing, and this is important, do not skip it:

This assumes the posted receive buffers have already been cleaned and de-allocated.

so like… she frees the rings, but the buffers? not her problem. someone else already handled those. if you roll up here while buffers are still posted, that's on you, not her. read the room. read the assumption. 🙈

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

the extended universe, fr fr — go read these next, iykyk:

that's the whole friend group, go say hi 🌈

ngl this page is short but she ate. free your rings, respect the assumption, and always clean your buffers first. periodt. 💜
