ice_xsk_wakeup(9)

💅 ice_xsk_wakeup(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to ice_xsk_wakeup(9) — yes that (9) is the section number, it's a kernel API page, we're in the big leagues now 🎀 this lil function is the one that implements ndo_xsk_wakeup, and honestly? iconic behaviour.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_xsk_wakeup (struct net_device *netdev , u32 queue_id , u32 flags
);

that's the whole signature, no cap. three args in, one int out 💖

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• netdev — a net_device. that's it, that's the description. it's the net device, bestie, we move.
• queue_id — the queue you wanna wake up ⏰ like, this one, girl, rise and shine.
• flags — literally ignored in our case 🙈 and there's a reason: we've got Rx and Tx living in the same NAPI, so there's nothing to disambiguate. the flags can show up to the party, they just don't get a say.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns negative on error, zero otherwise. that's it. that's the whole description. short king energy 👑 so like — negative = something went wrong 😭, zero = we're so good, we're slaying, no error 💅

lowkey reminder: flags is ignored. i didn't make the rules, the NAPI did. don't come for me 🫶
