💅 ice_tso(9) — your girl's guide to the kernel API manual

okay bestie, welcome to ice_tso — yes that's the page, and yes it lives in the kernel API manual (section 9, we love a syscall-adjacent-adjacent vibe 🧚). buckle up, this one's short but she's important.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_tso (struct ice_tx_buf *first , struct ice_tx_offload_params *off );

that's it. that's the whole signature. no notes. 🎀

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• first — pointer to struct ice_tx_buf. she's literally the first one, the main character, the beginning of the buffer chain 🫶
• off — pointer to struct that holds offload parameters. all the offload-y details live in here, iykyk 💜

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea: this function returns 0 or error (negative) if TSO can't happen, and 1 otherwise.

that's the whole description, no cap. not me being obsessed with how tidy that is 😭

lowkey important vibe check: negative return values mean TSO is a no-go, and a 1 means it's happening. don't mix those up or it's giving bug report 💀
