igb_poll(9)

💅 igb_poll(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to igb_poll(9) 💖 this whole page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally one function, so we can absolutely get through this together. grab a lil snack 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

igb_poll — the NAPI Rx polling callback 🌸 like, that's her whole job description and she's serving it.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

no cap, that's the entire signature. two args, one int back. iconic.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• napi — the napi polling structure 🫶 this is the struct she's working with, the main character of the call.
• budget — the count of how many packets we should handle 👑 yes bestie, it's a count, so she knows her limit and respects it.

fr fr that's it — those are the only two things she takes. no hidden extras, no surprise params, periodt.
