🦋 iavf_release_rx_desc(9) 🦋

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the page is iavf_release_rx_desc(9) — yes that whole mouthful, iykyk 💅 don't worry, it's actually a tiny little function and it ate, fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

iavf_release_rx_desc — store the new tail and head values 💖

like. that's the whole job. it stores the new tail and head values. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iavf_release_rx_desc (struct iavf_ring *rx_ring , u32 val );

look at her. void, so she gives nothing back — she's a giver, not a returner 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • rx_ring — the ring you're bumping 💫 literally the ring to bump, that's the whole vibe
  • val — the new head index ✨ the fresh head value, periodt

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the kernel file where she lives, bestie:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf/iavf_txrx.c — that's her home address 🏠

and now the whole friend group 😭 she literally knows everyone in this file, not me listing 41 functions like it's a group chat roster:

every single one, in the same order, I would never skip one of her friends 😤 that's not the vibe.

reminder bestie: rx_ring is the ring and val is the new head index. don't mix them up. mwah 💋

and that's the page!! 🧚 this little icon was brought to you by the ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/iavf source, October 2026 vintage, served in the Kernel API Manual — date and source remembered, slay 💜💅✨
