ice_clean_rx_irq_zc(9)

okay so bestie 💖 we’re flipping through the Kernel API Manual and the page is ice_clean_rx_irq_zc(9) — literally the function that consumes packets from the hardware ring. no cap, let’s get into it ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

ice_clean_rx_irq_zc — consumes packets from the hardware ring. that’s the whole name vibe: hardware ring in, packet-consuming icon behavior out 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ice_clean_rx_irq_zc (struct ice_rx_ring *rx_ring , struct
xsk_buff_pool *xsk_pool , int budget );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• rx_ring — AF_XDP Rx ring. yes bestie, the Rx ring is right there in the function signature, main character energy 💅
• xsk_pool — AF_XDP buffer pool pointer. it’s a pointer, it’s a pool, it’s giving AF_XDP 🫶
• budget — NAPI budget. the budget is the budget, periodt.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so the return value tea ☕: it returns the number of processed packets on success, and the remaining budget on failure. that’s it, that’s the description — short and iconic, fr fr 😭

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

the kernel file is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_xsk.c — yes, that exact path, no typo energy 🙈
