ice_setup_tx_ring(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ice_setup_tx_ring(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 💅

okay so this is a section 9 manpage (that's the kernel API girlies, not your regular userland stuff ✨) and honestly? it's short and sweet and we're gonna get through it together. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ice_setup_tx_ring — literally just allocates the Tx descriptors 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_setup_tx_ring (struct ice_tx_ring *tx_ring );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she's simple, she's iconic 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • tx_ring — the Tx ring we're setting up, bestie. this is the one. the main character. we're handing it over and letting her get set up 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the whole vibe: it returns 0 on success, and a negative value on error. ngl that's the entire description 😭 like she said what she said and nothing more.

lowkey a reminder that in kernel-land, 0 means everything went great and negative means something went sideways — so always check your return values fr fr 🙈

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

this list is honestly giving "everyone in the group chat" energy — like 40+ friends showing up to the function 🌈 and yes we are listing every single one because that's how we do it:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_txrx.c

like I said. the whole squad. periodt 👑

and that's the whole page bestie 🫶 this little cutie lives over in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, and the manual itself is dated October 2026 — so yeah, timestamped and everything, very official, very demure ⭐ go set up those Tx descriptors, you've got this 💖🔥
