ice_xmit_pkt(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the ice_xmit_pkt(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is short and iconic: ice_xmit_pkt produces a single HW Tx descriptor out of an AF_XDP descriptor. that's the whole plot, and it ate 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ice_xmit_pkt (struct ice_tx_ring *xdp_ring , struct xsk_buff_pool *xsk_pool , struct xdp_desc *desc , unsigned int *total_bytes );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• xdp_ring — the XDP ring where we're gonna produce the HW Tx descriptor 🌀 main-character ring energy, no cap.
• xsk_pool — the XSK buffer pool we pick buffers from, aka the ones HW is gonna consume 🫶
• desc — the AF_XDP descriptor we pull the DMA address and length from 📥 literally grab those two things and go.
• total_bytes — a bytes accumulator, and it's used for the stats update 📊 not me keeping track of the byte count for the plot arc 😭
