💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the ice_eswitch_port_start_xmit(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶 — this is the callback for packets transmit, and it’s giving tiny-but-iconic. No cap, the whole name vibe is ice_eswitch_port_start_xmit — callback for packets transmit. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• skb — the send buffer, aka the packet situation 💌
• netdev — the network interface device structure, the whole netdev main character energy 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The return vibe is simple and fr fr important: it returns NETDEV_TX_OK if sent, else an error code. That’s it, that’s the plot. Slay a successful send, otherwise error-code era. Periodt. 😭
