🦋 idpf_net_dim(9) — Update net DIM algorithm 🦋

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for idpf_net_dim, and she’s giving “tiny helper, major main character energy.” No cap, this one is short but every detail matters, so let’s get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_net_dim — Update net DIM algorithm

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void idpf_net_dim (struct idpf_q_vector *q_vector );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • q_vector — the vector associated with the interrupt. literally that vector, bestie 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what this function does is: create a DIM sample and notify net_dim so that it can possibly decide a new ITR value based on incoming packets, bytes, and interrupts. that’s the whole vibe ✨

and important caveat moment: this function is a no-op if the queue is not configured to dynamic ITR. so if dynamic ITR isn’t configured for the queue, it’s literally doing nothing — no drama, just no-op energy 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay bestie, the cross-reference section is a whole friend group, and every single one is invited:
