iavf_is_non_eop(9)

✨ iavf_is_non_eop ✨

Okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the function we're obsessing over today is iavf_is_non_eop(9). It's giving "am I the drama?" but for Rx ring buffers, and honestly? Iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool iavf_is_non_eop (struct iavf_ring *rx_ring , struct libeth_rqe_info fields );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rx_ring — the Rx ring that's being processed rn, main character energy fr.
• fields — the Rx descriptor extracted fields, aka the little info packet we pulled out. slay.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So basically this function updates next to clean. If the buffer is an EOP buffer, it exits and returns false — not it, no cap. Otherwise, it places the sk_buff in the next buffer to be chained and returns true, which is the function's way of saying "yup, this is in fact a non-EOP buffer." Periodt. 💖
