iavf_build_skb(9)

🌸 iavf_build_skb(9) — like, the kernel API manual, bestie 🌸

okay so real quick, this is the iavf_build_skb(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual manual, we're doing this 💅 and honestly? it's lowkey iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

iavf_build_skb — no cap, it builds an skb around an existing buffer 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct sk_buff * iavf_build_skb (const struct libeth_fqe *rx_buffer ,
unsigned int size );

like, that's the whole signature, she's giving main character energy ⭐

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rx_buffer — the Rx buffer you're pulling data from, bestie. your source of truth 💖
• size — literally the size of the buffer you're adding to the skb. don't skip her, she matters 🌸

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what this does is build an skb around an existing Rx buffer 🧚 and the way it does it is so careful — it takes care to set up the skb correctly and it avoids any memcpy overhead. periodt. no copying, no extra work, just vibes and correct structure ✨ she ate, fr fr 🔥
