💖 iavf_xmit_frame_ring(9) — Sends buffer on Tx ring 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for iavf_xmit_frame_ring(9) — the function that sends a buffer on a Tx ring. We are keeping every single detail intact, because that is the whole vibe. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

iavf_xmit_frame_ring — Sends buffer on Tx ring.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

       netdev_tx_t iavf_xmit_frame_ring (struct sk_buff *skb , struct iavf_ring
       *tx_ring );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• skb — send buffer. This is the send buffer, aka the thing getting sent. 🎀
• tx_ring — ring to send buffer on. This is the ring it gets sent on, periodt.

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Returns NETDEV_TX_OK if sent, else an error code.

So if it sends, you get NETDEV_TX_OK back; if not, you get an error code instead. That's the whole contract, no cap. 💀
