idpf_txq_group_alloc(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 idpf_txq_group_alloc(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the good section) — this is the page for idpf_txq_group_alloc, and it's literally the girl whose whole job is: allocate all txq group resources. that's the NAME, that's the vibe, no cap. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int idpf_txq_group_alloc (struct idpf_vport *vport , struct
idpf_q_vec_rsrc *rsrc , u16 num_txq );

it returns an int and it takes three args, and yes the spacing in that signature is exactly how it ships — leave it alone, she's perfect 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • vport — the vport you're allocating txq groups for. she's the main character here, everything gets built inside her 🫶
  • rsrc — a pointer to queue and vector resources. lowkey the supply drop: queues, vectors, all of it ✨
  • num_txq — number of txqs to allocate for each group. per group, bestie, not total — read it twice, iykyk 😭

💀 RETURN 💀

0 on success, negative on failure.

that's it. zero is the slay, negative is the "not me crying in the kernel log" 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the source file is right here, go read it, she's iconic:

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

and now the full guest list — every single one of them, because we do not gatekeep on this page 👑

💖 that's every single cross-reference on the page, bestie — nothing skipped, nothing merged, nothing invented. if you need the real tea, the source lives in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf. 🫶

and that's the page!! this cutie shipped as part of the Kernel API Manual, out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf, dated October 2026 — periodt, go allocate some txq groups responsibly ✨👑🌸
