iavf_xmit_frame(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the iavf_xmit_frame(9) page, straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and iavf_xmit_frame is the function that selects the correct VSI and Tx queue to send buffer. It's giving “route the buffer correctly, bestie,” and honestly? iconic. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole signature, character-for-character, no edits, no vibes-based changes:

netdev_tx_t iavf_xmit_frame (struct sk_buff *skb , struct net_device
       *netdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — the send buffer. The buffer in question, periodt. 🫶
• netdev — the network interface device structure. The netdev situation. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Return tea: it returns NETDEV_TX_OK if sent; otherwise, it returns an error code. That's literally the description. If the send goes through, NETDEV_TX_OK; if not, error code energy. No cap. 😭
