idpf_rx_splitq_clean(9)

✨ idpf_rx_splitq_clean(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about idpf_rx_splitq_clean 💅 ngl the name is a mouthful but she's doing important work. Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

idpf_rx_splitq_clean — Clean completed descriptors from Rx queue 🧹✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int idpf_rx_splitq_clean (struct idpf_rx_queue *rxq , int budget );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rxq — the Rx descriptor queue she's pulling from, aka the place you go to retrieve the receive buffer queue 👑
• budget — the total limit on how many packets you're allowed to process. it's giving "you may only take this much candy" energy 🍓

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: this function brings a "bounce buffer" approach to Rx interrupt processing 🔥 and honestly? iconic. The whole point — the advantage, the main character energy — is that on systems where IOMMU access is expensive overhead, this gives you a way to avoid it, by maintaining the mapping of the page to the system. basically she keeps the receipt so you don't have to pay again 💅✨

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

the amount of work completed 😌💪
