💖 ice_xmit_desc_count(9) 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual, this one's ice_xmit_desc_count and it's genuinely so mvp of the ice driver 🧊✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

ice_xmit_desc_count — literally just calculates how many Tx descriptors you need 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

unsigned int ice_xmit_desc_count (struct sk_buff *skb );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• skb — the send buffer, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🌸

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So what does it do? It returns the number of data descriptors needed for this skb. That's the whole function. No cap. Short and iconic, we love a lowkey legend 🙈💜
