✨ i40e_stats_..._rx_discards(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel dev stuff, iykyk) and honestly bestie it's a tiny little function but she's doing her part 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

i40e_stats_update_rx_discards — literally just updates rx_discards. that's it. that's the whole job. and she ate 🍓

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void i40e_stats_update_rx_discards (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , struct
i40e_hw *hw , int stat_idx , bool offset_loaded , struct i40e_eth_stats
*stat_offset , struct i40e_eth_stats *stat );

returns void so like… she gives nothing back emotionally but she DOES do the work, no cap 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • vsi — ptr to the VSI that's getting updated. main character energy, she's the one being refreshed ✨
  • hw — ptr to the hardware info. the hardware lore fr fr 👑
  • stat_idx — the VSI's stat_counter_idx. her little name tag at the party 🎀
  • offset_loaded — ptr to the VSI's stat_offsets_loaded. keeping track of whether the offsets have been loaded, very responsible of her 💜
  • stat_offset — ptr to stat_offset, which is where you stash the first read of that specific register. the receipts, basically 📝
  • stat — ptr to the VSI's stat that's the one getting updated. the glow-up target 🦋
ok real talk, they're all pointers and they all matter — don't be out here passing NULL and acting surprised, bestie 😭

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

first up, the kernel file she lives in:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c

and now… the extended friend group 😭 this is a LOT of besties, but every single one of them is invited, periodt:

bestie if you made it through that whole list you deserve a little treat 🍓 genuinely iconic stamina 💅

and that's the whole page!! mwah 💖 this cutie lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and the manual itself is dated October 2026 — so like, future queen behavior honestly 👑✨
