idpf_rx_bufs_init(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 idpf_rx_bufs_init — a Kernel API Manual moment (that's section 9 of the manual, bestie, we're in the kernel docs) 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_rx_bufs_init — okay so this is the glow-up function: it initializes the page pool, allocates the rx bufs, and posts them to the HW. Three jobs, one function, main character energy fr fr. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int idpf_rx_bufs_init (struct idpf_buf_queue *bufq , enum
       libeth_fqe_type type );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • bufq — the buffer queue you're creating the page pool for. Like, this is the queue, she's getting a page pool, that's her whole thing. 🫶
  • type — the type of Rx buffers to allocate. You gotta tell it what kind, no guessing, iykyk. ✨

💖 RETURN 💖

0 on success, negative on failure. That's it, that's the vibe check — zero means slay, anything negative means something went off and you should probably go look. 😭

ngl, negative is the only other option here, there's no "positive number means something cool happened" situation. Zero or negative, periodt.

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Bestie. Sit down. This list is long long, and every single one of these is getting its name said. No cutting, no skipping, we don't do that here. 💅
