💖 NAME 💖

igb_clean_rx_ring — Free Rx Buffers per Queue

Okay so real quick, bestie — this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and the whole vibe is: this function frees the Rx buffers per queue. That's it. That's the gig. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void igb_clean_rx_ring (struct igb_ring *rx_ring );

No return value, no drama, no notes. She just goes in and does the thing. 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rx_ring — the ring you're freeing buffers from, periodt. Like, hand her the ring, she cleans it out. 🧹✨

Also worth a peek: the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c — that's where the magic actually lives, iykyk. 👀

And that's the whole page, bestie, no cap 💜 — this little love letter lives under ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb, dated October 2026, and it's your girl igb_clean_rx_ring(9) signing off. Slay, free those buffers, and go touch some grass (after you rmmod). 🌈🎀
