igb_process_skb_fields(9)

💖 igb_process_skb_fields(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for igb_process_skb_fields(9) — this is the little function that gets your skb looking cute and fully populated from the Rx descriptor 💅✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

igb_process_skb_fields — populate skb header fields from Rx descriptor 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void igb_process_skb_fields (struct igb_ring *rx_ring , union
e1000_adv_rx_desc *rx_desc , struct sk_buff *skb );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• rx_ring — the Rx descriptor ring that the packet is being transacted on, periodt 💫
• rx_desc — pointer to the EOP Rx descriptor, iykyk 👀
• skb — pointer to the current skb being populated, main character energy fr fr 🦋

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This function checks the ring, descriptor, and packet information in order to populate the hash, checksum, VLAN, timestamp, protocol, and other fields within the skb. no cap, that's the whole glow-up: it gathers what it needs and fills in those skb fields 💖
