iavf_configure_rx(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 iavf_configure_rx(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay so. bestie. you're in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual and the page is iavf_configure_rx(9). it's a driver function, it's Intel, it's doing reset-adjacent things to your receive path, and yes it's as niche as it sounds. but we're gonna get through it together, hand in hand, fr fr 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

iavf_configure_rx — get the Receive Unit configured again after a Reset. that's the whole vibe check. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iavf_configure_rx (struct iavf_adapter *adapter );

yep. that's it. one argument, nothing returned. no notes. 🙂‍↕️

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • adapter — the board private structure. like, the whole adapter's personal little diary of state. that's the one you hand over. 📓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it do? it configures the Rx unit of the MAC after a reset. that's the entire description, no cap. the receive side of the MAC gets its configuration re-applied once the reset situation has calmed down. iconic behaviour, honestly. ✨

not me wishing there were more paragraphs here 😭 there aren't. moving on.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay bestie, deep breath, because this list is long long. it's giving "the entire iavf driver in one cross-reference dump." but every single one is here, untouched, because we don't gatekeep and we don't delete. 🔥

first up, the actual file this thing lives in:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf/iavf_main.c — the Kernel file. the mothership. 🏠

and now the whole friend group:

that's the whole roster. every single one. you're welcome. 💜

heads up bestie: not one of these cross-references tells you how to call them here — they're just "go read these too," so don't go inventing behaviour from a name alone. iykyk.

🌈 the cute sign-off 🌈

this little love letter lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf, and the date on the tin is October 2026. go forth and configure your Rx unit, bestie — after a reset, obviously. slay. 💅✨🎀
