💖 i40e_setup_rx_descriptors(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual ✨ — this one lives in the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> section and it's all about setting up your Rx descriptor ring. Let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_setup_rx_descriptors — allocate Rx descriptors, bestie. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int i40e_setup_rx_descriptors (struct i40e_ring *rx_ring );

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • rx_ring — the Rx descriptor ring you wanna set up, like, for one specific queue 👑. This is the main character of the whole function, no cap.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So here's the tea ☕ — this function returns <green>0</green> on success, and a <red>negative</red> value on failure. That's literally it. Fr fr. Not every function needs a whole saga, and this one is refreshingly lowkey about it 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

buckle up bestie, this list is long and honestly kind of iconic 🔥 First, the kernel file this all lives in:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.c

then all the siblings and cousins and neighbors of this function, in the order the page gives them, no skipping 🙈:

like, yes, that's A LOT of cross-references 😭 but they're all right there in the page and we don't gatekeep here 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie! mwah 💋 this lil corner of the kernel lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and this particular page is dated October 2026 — so yeah, it's from the future, deal with it 🦋 slay, and happy descriptor-allocating 🎀✨
