i40e_xsk_pool_disable(9)

💅 i40e_xsk_pool_disable 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's about i40e_xsk_pool_disable — the little function that breaks up with an AF_XDP buffer pool 🥀 no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_xsk_pool_disable — the "it's not you, it's the ring" moment: disassociate an AF_XDP buffer pool from a certain ring/qid 💔

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int i40e_xsk_pool_disable (struct i40e_vsi *vsi , u16 qid );

that's it, that's the whole signature, she's short and she knows it 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vsi — the current VSI 🫶 like, the vibe you're operating on right now.
• qid — the Rx ring to associate the buffer pool with 👀 (yes that's what the original says, we're keeping it exactly, don't come for me).

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Returns 0 on success, <0 on failure. That's the whole description, and honestly? iconic minimalism. periodt 💀✨

okay but fr fr — 0 means slay, anything below 0 means something went sideways. don't ignore the negative return value, bestie 😭
