💖 i40e_run_xdp(9) 💖

okay so you found the i40e_run_xdp(9) page, welcome bestie, this is the kernel API manual and we're gonna get you through it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME

i40e_run_xdp — run an XDP program ✨

like, it runs the XDP program. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

int i40e_run_xdp (struct i40e_ring *rx_ring , struct xdp_buff *xdp ,
struct bpf_prog *xdp_prog );

it's giving int. it returns a thing. we love a return value 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• rx_ring — the Rx ring that's being processed rn. that's the ring in question, the main character 🌀
• xdp — the XDP buffer holding the frame. literally the frame's cozy little home 📦
• xdp_prog — the XDP program you're running. the actual program. go off 💅
