igc_clean_tx_irq(9)

💅 igc_clean_tx_irq(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: it's the igc driver (Intel ethernet, she's iconic), and the transmit side just finished doing its thing. Now somebody's gotta go back and tidy up. That's this function. Welcome to cleanup duty ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

igc_clean_tx_irq — reclaim resources after transmit completes 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool igc_clean_tx_irq (struct igc_q_vector *q_vector , int napi_budget
);

like yes bestie it returns a bool, we'll get to that 💖

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• q_vector — pointer to q_vector containing needed info. she literally carries everything you need, no cap 👜✨
• napi_budget — used to determine if we are in netpoll. that's her whole job here, fr fr

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

returns true if ring is completely cleaned 👑

that's it. that's the whole description. short, sweet, main character energy 💅
