ice_vsi_ctrl_all_rx_rings(9)

💅 ice_vsi_ctrl_all_rx_rings — the Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the group chat for ice_vsi_ctrl_all_rx_rings(9). this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "small function, big responsibilities" energy ✨

---

🎀 NAME

ice_vsi_ctrl_all_rx_rings — start or stop a VSI's Rx rings 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

int ice_vsi_ctrl_all_rx_rings (struct ice_vsi *vsi , bool ena );

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS

• vsi — the VSI being configured. like, the whole situation that's getting set up 💖
• ena — start or stop the Rx rings. yes queen, you pick the vibe 🌸

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION

ok so first it enables/disables all of the Rx rings, then it flushes any remaining writes, and then it verifies that they have all actually been enabled/disabled successfully. 👑

the whole point? it lets all of the register writes complete (while enabling/disabling the Rx rings) before it sits there waiting for the change in hardware to complete. so it's not just vibing — it's sequencing, bestie. main character energy for your registers 💅
