igbvf_setup_rx_resources(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 igbvf_setup_rx_resources(9) — the "go get ur receive ring its stuff" page 💖

okay so real talk, bestie: this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's all about one little function that gives ur receive side somewhere to live. it's giving "party planner for descriptors" honestly 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

igbvf_setup_rx_resources — the function that allocates ur Rx resources, aka ur Descriptors. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int igbvf_setup_rx_resources (struct igbvf_adapter *adapter , struct
igbvf_ring *rx_ring );

like, you hand it an adapter and a ring, and it returns an int. simple as. ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • adapter — the board private structure 🫶 this is the big main-character struct that holds all the board's private business. it knows things.
  • rx_ring — the ring being initialized 💫 the specific ring that's getting set up, i.e. the one getting its glow-up.

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

here's the whole vibe check: it returns 0 on success, and negative on failure. that's literally it. no lore, no hidden extras. if u get a 0 u may celebrate 🎉 if u get a negative number, something went sideways and u should be like "😭 okay noted."

no cap, that's the entire description. sometimes a function is just a function. iconic behavior.

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igbvf/netdev.c — go visit her, she has the source 💖

and here's the whole friend group, all in section 9, all linked up like a group chat where everyone knows everyone:

forty-three whole friends. a whole squad. iykyk 🌈

heads up bestie: this page is for the kernel API, so the "arguments" are C structs, not flags u type into a terminal. don't go typing igbvf_setup_rx_resources -a anywhere, that's not the move 🙈

okay that's the whole page!! mwah 💋 this little icon came to u from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and it'll be right there waiting under the name igbvf_setup_rx_resources(9) whenever u need her. periodt. 👑✨
