💖 idpf_rx_desc_alloc 💖

okay so this is a page from the kernel API manual, section 9 — yes, the big serious kernel docs, but we're gonna get through it together bestie, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

idpf_rx_desc_alloc — the girl whose whole entire job is allocating queue Rx resources 💅 like she's setting up the venue before the party, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int idpf_rx_desc_alloc (const struct idpf_vport *vport , struct
idpf_rx_queue *rxq );

that's the whole signature, character for character, don't come for me 🔥

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • vport — the vport you're allocating resources for 🫶 she's the one getting the glow-up.
  • rxq — the Rx queue whose resources are getting set up 🌈 literally the specific queue we're doing all this for.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 on success — slay, we ate 🍓
  • negative on failure — not slay, and it's giving "something went wrong" 😭

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

the kernel file lives right here, iconic location:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_txrx.c

and now… the friend group. the whole entire friend group. every single one, in order, no skips, no cap 👑

like… that's a lot of siblings and every single one of them is invited 💀

that's the whole page bestie, you understood it, i'm so proud of you 🧚‍♀️ and for the record this cutie came out of the ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf directory, dated October 2026 — write that down, it's on the exam 💜🎀
