iavf_tx_prepare_vlan_flags(9)

💖 NAME 💖

iavf_tx_prepare_vlan_flags — prepare generic TX VLAN tagging flags for HW ✨

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is the Kernel API Manual entry for iavf_tx_prepare_vlan_flags(9), and it's all about prepping generic TX VLAN tagging flags for the HW. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       void iavf_tx_prepare_vlan_flags (struct sk_buff *skb , struct iavf_ring
       *tx_ring , u32 *flags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — send buffer 💌
• tx_ring — ring to send buffer on 🌀
• flags — the tx flags to be set 🚩

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

It checks the skb and sets up correspondingly several generic transmit flags related to VLAN tagging for the HW, such as VLAN, DCB, etc. 🧚✨

The page also says it returns an error code that indicates the frame should be dropped upon error, and otherwise returns 0 to indicate the flags has been set properly. Yep, that's what it says — even though the synopsis says void; I'm just reporting the lore, bestie 😭.
