idpf_vport_splitq_napi_poll(9)

💅 idpf_vport_splitq_napi_poll — NAPI handler ✨

okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9 ofc, and it's giving "one tiny function that carries the whole polling vibe" 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

idpf_vport_splitq_napi_poll — the NAPI handler, bestie. that's the whole job description 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int idpf_vport_splitq_napi_poll (struct napi_struct *napi , int budget
);

like, read it out loud: it takes a napi and a budget and hands you back an int. iconic honestly 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• napi — the struct you pull q_vector out of. that's the whole point of it, no cap 👑
• budget — the budget the stack hands you. stack said "here's your allowance", and you're gonna respect it 🙈

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

how many packets were cleaned. that's it, that's the number, that's the whole return value ⭐

also the kernel file itself lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_txrx.c — go read the source bestie, iykyk 📂💖

fr fr tho: everything above is exactly what the page says, i just gave it a vibe check. the facts didn't move, they just got cuter 💅✨

and that's a wrap, gorgeous 🌈 this one came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf, dated October 2026, and yeah — we were reading idpf_vport_splitq_napi_poll(9) the whole time. slay 🎀🫶💜
